Default Spring starter question


I have been running a spring starter on my G-38 for years and except when they have warn out or the spring brakes I have never had any problems, that is till today , engine started fine got in a good 10 min flight Landed to let outhers fly fueled up waited about 10 min for a break and when trying to start the enginespring started would slip, firgued spring had broke, After getting home pulled engine and could fined nothing wrong spring is ok is not deformed etc,

So is it possible for the loc-tite that you use when installing the sleeve on the shaft to let go when hot??? if so what is the remidy??

Thanks for any help
