I was flying today, it was hot here in S. Texas I flew to a small airport about 15 miles from my home FBO. I made about 8 touch & goes and thought I would make a full stop to get some water and a little AC to cool off. I got back in the plane andwhen I tried to start the engine, the starterengaged, it turned over about two turns anddisengaged.
I tried the starter again and all I could hear is the starter motor spinning but it would not engage.
I let it cool down some but could not getthe starter to do anything other than spin withoutengaging.
I have never had any issues with the starter before, and I can't remember any of the cars that I owned having a starter that just quit and didn't give me some notice of them going bad before it stopped working.
Is there anything I can try to get it to worksoI can get my plane back tomy FBO?There are no mechanics where Iparked my plane today and I need to get it back to my home base. I have a IO-360 and don't know what type of starter it hads.
Thanks for any help or suggestions
