Engaging the starter spins the prop about 1 revolution, the prop then stops and the starter seems to disengage and the starter sounds to be free spinning. Pulling the top spark plugs and engaging the starter and it cranks normal . Battery is fully charged and using a new Skytek HD starter. Any suggestions?
Sounds like the sprag clutch is slipping.
