Starter Issue

Moving this here from the 916 iS forum since I suspect the starter is the same on all 900-series Rotax-es.
Tuesday when I went to start my 916 iS all I got was a "click" from the starter relay. I removed the glare shield and verified power at the output of the starter relay. Then I removed top and bottom cowlings and verified power at the starter. Apparently the starter had stopped at a "dead spot" and wouldn't turn with power applied. I tapped the starter a bit to get it off the dead spot and was able to fly home.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it common? Should I get a new starter?
