My Sullivan starter I've had for twelve years finally bit the dust when it fell off the starter table at the field.Messed up something inside. It was a great starter with a lot of torque. You didn't grab the hub when it was running.It'd twist your fingers. Went to the LHS and figured all starters were the same.Bought a Hobbico,the one with the red plastic on it. Took it home and tried it out and you could stop it very easily with two fingers.What the heck!! ZERO torque.It mite start a 15 size engine if you get it spinning and then cram it to the spinner on the prop.That's even doubtful. My old Sullivan could be put to the spinner,then turned on and it'd spin anything.... This is all with a charged battery.
What gives???? Is the Hobbico that weak or do I have a bad starter??? Thanx me
