    Ignition will not Start

    My plan is #19 I have had it since August 2018, and every year since 2019 I have been stranded somewhere when my plane will not turn over, It probably has happened approx 7 times in 5.5 years,
    Issues have been 1) both connections at solenoid have broken, 2) connection at starter has broken 3) small wires behind ignition have come un done, 4) perhaps loose ground wires on solenoid,
    Well it has happened again and all above issues seem to be fine? I even tried switching out the starter relay in that doesn't seem to be the issue, and it's not the battery!! its 130%..Anyone have a clue why all these issues, ?...When it does start the plane has always flown perfectly!!! :(

    Hi David, wasn't it your starter that crapped out preventing you from attending the Adirondack Swarm last summer?
    Sorry it's giving you such fits, you must have no confidence in flying anywhere far.
