Kavan Starters

[Jim_Woodward at beaerospace.com]

Hi All,
After 3 full seasons, my Kavan battery powered starter was going down 
hill, and displaying less power, and less # of uses in between charges. It 
simply would no longer turn over my Webra 160.  Thinking this was the sign 
of an overused Nicad pack, I purchased a new Nimh pack.  Now with two 
charge/use/charge cycles, the 3 year old Kavan and new battery still will 
not turn over the 160.  My flying parter has a new Kavan starter with new 
nicad pack, and his turns over my 160 no problem, as well as his DZ 160.

Is it possible that something in the actual starter has started to fail? 
Or, should I just wait untill the starter gets some more charge cycles on 
the battery pack?  Anyone else experience this?  It has been used quite a 
bit, and has been an excellent product.

Thanks,
Jim W.
