While at Lancaster Airport yesterday, I punched the started button and only got the clicking noise of the relay.  Tried it a couple of more times and the prop finally started spinning and was eventually able to fly back home.

I've got about 500 hrs (since new) on my Lyc IO-360.  Looks like I may need a new starter.  So, what's the latest and the greatest on starters?  B&C or Sky-Tec?  Opinions and/or experinces?  What's the Sky-Tec Hi-Torque starter? I've got over 2 1/2 years on my battery also and will probably replace that also just to me sure.

Thanks in advance for all and any advice.
