Hello all,
From the looks of it, my starter is going bad on my XP. Basically it is a pain in the butt to get the starter to engage long enough to turn the engine over unless it is already warm and starts over on the first few revolutions. I have bypassed the relay with a jumper and verified all connections in the electrical box (all looks clean and corrosion free) and nothing seems to change, it clicks intermittently and the starter solenoid only stays engaged for a second or two most of the time. I do however, need to check the cable and ground on the starter end to make sure those are good before I replace the starter.
My question to you guys, I am seeing "new" starters going on amazon and ebay for the 787 engine for around 60 bucks. Does that sound about right? Are all 787 engines using the same starter regardless of model machine or year? Thanks in advance for any info.
