Anyone had a Powerlite starter motor fail, It's probably been used a total of 10mins from new in short bursts with plugs out on new engine (4.8l with 8.9 compression turbo motor) and less than a minute with plugs in. Just needed another few mins to verify spark at TDC and I would have gone for a start (Megasquirt MS3 Ultimate). Is there a better choice than Powerlite for a G50 box as I'm a bit worried about getting a replacement with this performance

Talk to Richard at the Factory tomorrow. Starters are a common issue, especially getting the correct one.

I will probably call in to the factory Monday, they supplied the clutch and starter to see what they can do

Factory have returned the starter to the manufacturer who couldn’t find a fault with it, just fitted starter to the engine and it turns over. Massive thank you to Andy for sorting it out
