## Discrepancy

STARTER ADAPTER FAILURE 3 TIMES SINCE BUYING THE ACFT NEW IN NOV 02. THE MFG SUPPLIED STARTER DOES NOT RELEASE THE STARTER ADAPTER AFTER START UP CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ADAPTER. FAILURE IS NOTED AS THE STARTER FAILS TO TURN THE PROP BUT THE SOUND OF THE STARTER FUNCTIONING IS AUDIBLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS ACFT OWNERS.
