On my last few Saturday breakfast flights I noticed a not normal noise when first pulling the starter cable. Seems to be as it's not fully engaging, just for a second then cranks. When returning, not noticed.

Wondering if the cable is out of adjustment (needs a little more tension) or if it's something else. Went to a new Concorde sealed heavy duty battery and seem have enough cranking power.

Suggestions as to what I should check out?
