OK, I adjusted the starter - not sure if that's correct, but it seemed to
start the engine. This is the diff with what's in JSBSim CVS:

-- start --

RCS file: /cvsroot/jsbsim/JSBSim/src/models/propulsion/FGPiston.cpp,v
retrieving revision 1.9
diff -r1.9 FGPiston.cpp
201c201
<   StarterHP = sqrt(MaxHP) * 0.2;
---
>   StarterHP = sqrt(MaxHP) * 0.4;
583c583
<         HP = StarterHP + ((480 - RPM) / 10.0);
---
>         HP = StarterHP + ((480 - RPM) / 8.0);
596c596
<   //cout << "Power = " << HP << '\n';
---
> //  cout << "Power = " << HP << "  RPM = " << RPM << "  Running = " <<
Running << "  Cranking = " << Cranking << endl;

-- end --

Maybe this will help.
