Betcha a lot of people screw this up. After my plane came from the A&P one time, I noticed that I really had to pull the starter WAY out before things started to spin. Before, it seemed to turn after only about a half-inch pull. This must be more like 3/4 or 7/8. Kind of found it an annoyance, especially as the spring takes more of a tug as the handle comes farther out. Apparently it is a symptom of it having been adjusted properly! I wonder how many people experience this same thing and adjust it so that it's easier to get things spinning, in the process starting the motor when the teeth are half-engaged.
