The guy who looks after the airstrip here had a look at the sparrow hawk the other day and informed me that the starter cable was rubbing away on the intake manifold. When we went out there we were shocked to find 2-60% rubs through insulation on starter cable and one through alt. cable, each would have brought her down if shorted out. Aircraft cable only has thin, hard insulation and needs quality rubberised clamps. The trouble is these days most rubber is crap! There is a crashed Liberator bomber only 5 km from my house and the rubber clamps are still good after 65yrs.
