Compliance required by November 1, 1948. To preclude possible engine malfunctioning as a result of starter gear chipping caused by improper engagement of the starter mechanism, accomplish the following: (1) Remove the starter assembly from the engine and replace the original starter pinion and clutch assembly with the new assembly, P/N DR1885537. Check the solenoid linkage adjustment to ascertain that the pinion and clutch assembly can move rearward to contact the starter adapter. If the linkage prevents full disengagement of the pinion, remove the toggle link pin and turn the plunger shaft outward untilfull retraction is obtained. Check to make sure that at least two threads are still engaged. Reinstall the starter assembly. (2) Install the new resistor coil, P/N DR 1885541, on the starter battery and ground power terminals. The coil must hang downward from the terminals. (3) Make all electrical connections as covered in Beech Starter Latching Relay Installation Instructions. (Continental Service Bulletin No. M47-19 dated August 31, 1947, and Beech Service Letter No. 10, Model 35, cover this same subject.)
