Default How to use starter correctly ?

I have the same starter and it is a bit on the weak side. Follow the steps in the previous post...turn prop clockwise until there is resistance (without the glow igniter on) to give the starter a head start. Also with new engines they are sometimes a bit tight so you may have to hold the starter just off the spinner and let it spin up a bit...then push it on to the spinner and it will turn it over.
