Has anyone encountered this issue? I have a new zero time engine with about 20 hours on it now and whenever I take a flight, stop for fuel and then attempt to restart the engine the starter will turn the prop approx 3/4 turn and then grind as though it is a bad starter. Once in a while I will get this issue when cool but always right after taking a flight and attempting to restart within 1 hour. Starter is less than 1 yr old.. Any thoughts? Could I still have a bad starter? Brand new Battery 2 months ago.
