Went to start her tonight for the second time , the engine lightly hydraulic'd and I mean lightly and the shaft snapped on the top by the bearing clean in half like a carrot

I did not twist the starter to one side before any one comments .

Any one else have this happen ?????

I was hoping a 600 shaft would fit which I have but there smaller

Thanks Steven

My 18 volt dewalt drill, set with the slipper on which I use on all my heli's.

It was not the power from that as it just snapped too easy possibly a floor in the steel.
has it has a dark spot in the center of the break.
