Knowing that I had a bad battery, I thought I could at least get another start and flight before my new Lithium Iron battery showed up.
Couldn't get the engine started. I'm starting to think starter now.
The battery is showing 12.8 volts, but I keep a Battery Tender Jr on it.
When I hit the starter, it just bumps and won't even go past compression, unless I just keep bumping it. Eventually, I'll get it past the compression, but again, it'll just bump and not continue to try to turn over.
Does this sound like a bad bendix on the starter?
My starter is a Skytech lightweight starter.
Thanks guys...
