Low starting power Jim Bunn JBunn jwbl@comcast.net I went out to start the airplane today and when I turned the key got nothing. checked the battery and it's fine and I get 12v to the starter relay. Tried again a bit later and the airplane started. The initail draw on the starter seems to be too much, as the prop turns slowly on the first start of the day. I have put a known good battery in to see if that was the problem and I got the same indications.  I have Borgart Cables and a (fairly) new LW Skytech starter. Anyone have anysuggestions on what the problem could be?
