| Start shaftI picked one up at Toledo. I loved my original design, but the small one way bearing would slip occassionally. The new one is MUCH more robuts.
My new one doesn't run nearly as tru as the old one. I could hit the button on the starter at 14.4 volts and let it spool up with no wobble/vibration. It was actually the smoothest starter I have ever witnessed personally. My new one vibrates dangerously if you don't support the tip with my fingers while spinning.
I also noticed that there is about 1/2 inch of in and out play on the shaft removable shaft. The shaft slides out of the adaptor when vertical, but pushes back into the adaptor when I push the starter down into the starter cup on the heli. When I try to remove it, there is about 1/2 inch of play. I can actually hear the steel ball in the adaptor rolling back and forth. My old one would clamp down nice and solid when I screwed the removable cone into the adaptor.
I have the end screwed on as tight as it will go, even though the rubber o-ring is not seated against the adaptor body.
