You may have a problem as simple as worn brushes.  These are available seperately from Hobby Lobby.

  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.
