Hi Bill, Your method scares me.
"Pump the throttle TWO times leaving it in almost full throttle" Starting at full throttle will shorten the life of you engine. When starting there is minimal oil on the bearing surfaces and no oil pressure. Starting at full throttle will give high RPM and high load on a cold, unlubricated engine. If my plane has been sitting for some time I crank it over with ignition off till I get oil pressure before I operate the choke and try to start it. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Starrs Few years ago some one wrote a sure fire procedure in starting the VW. It consists of this. Mixture full rich. All switches ON. Pump the throttle TWO times leaving it in almost full throttle ...just a small crack . Hit the starter button or key and VOOOOOOOM every time . I have been very sick lately and did not run the engine in over two years. I went out to the airport yesterday and on the first shot VOOOOM I sure have a lot to thank the guy that shared that little bit of knowledge. pass it on..Bill Starrs
