Our club Cessna 177RG Cardinal had its engine replaced
about 1 year ago. We are on our third starter. The
pinion gear locked up in the starter ring after the
starter began to disintegrate. Took out the starter
and the ring gear. Lycoming recommended the light
weight starter so we went for it. Now they admit
problems with the LW starter. We went for the beefier
model. No problems yet. BTW, the second starter
lasted 3.5 hours.

I was wondering, wouldn't a big diode and a similar size resistor across the
starter help things? As soon as the starter thinks it is a generator, the
output current will flow through diode and resistor, adding considerable
load to the starter, making it change its mind about the whole generator
thing a bit more quickly.
Just a thought....

Thanks everyone who offered comments and suggestions. I also called SkyTec this
morning and they told me that is normal to take a few seconds for the starter
to disengage. Only thing that really still bothers me is why I never noticed
it before.
