I have a Magnaflight Starter on my 0360 A1A in my RV4. There is a label on it that says I should CLEAN and Lube it with silicone spray every 50 hrs.
Would anyone have anything from Magnaflight that is clear on what exactly they want cleaned? Over the last 35 years I have had 1/2 dozen factory aircraft and I have never cleaned or even replaced a starter. This is my 1st Experimental.
So with this new lightweight technology I'm thinking this is a little excessive that every year or 50 hrs that I'm going to need to pull the starter to clean and lube it?
Or will I get away with just spraying some silicone in the bendix while I have the cowl off?
Thanks
Tim
