Thanks for once more pointing out proper starter use. I see so many at fields (and here) who are advocates of spinning up the starter, then slamming it against the prop.
Dennis-
I see guys do that a lot, too, that's why I mentioned it above. In fact not too long ago I saw a guy do that and the prop spun right off the shaft without ever turning the engine over.

I looked kinda funny.
