Hello everyone! I have been flying a Cessna 150 and the airplane has been in maintenance several times during the past few weeks. Each time the problem turns out to be a bum starter. I was "lucky" enough to be the guy to write it up the last time it went in maintenance
anic:. The airplane sat on the ramp for about 2 hours in -20°C weather without an engine cover. I attempted to start it up and the prop turned very slowly. I wrote it up for what I thought was a dead, or close to dead, battery. It turns out that maintenance is throwing a new starter on it. When I wrote the airplane up, the prop was turning, just not very fast. If a starter is busted, wouldn't that result in the prop not turning? I'm just curious to know the symptoms of a bad starter I suppose.
