no spark hand proping
I saw the jump starter system listed on the c&h web site but if i buy that, might as well getthe whole cdi ignition system.
how can i get it to produce spark by hand proping?
I'm not sure if its even possible to hand start an engine with flywheel/magneto. I'm sure someone here will say its easily possible,but I've never seen it done. Thats a BIG reason most of us use Electronic Ignitions. The only engine I ever ran that had flywheel/magneto had a spring loaded started mechanism built in. Your probly gonna have to invest a big chunk of money into a massive starter for that big of an engine or simply put an EI on it for $40.00-$80.00. Its honestly really worth it to go with EI because of the conveince of it.
I even succeded myself in starting a zenoah....ONCE! I like EI systems better.

I have also started g23 and g38,s by hand but you have to remember, Its all about flying and enjoying the sport so try to make it easy on yourself
use a hand starter and EI works and your shoulder won't hurt so much[img]images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif[/img]
we are getting older and we should not have to make things hard on ourselves
ever have a engine that wont start and after a while someone says here use my starter and whamoo the engine starts.....its all about flying and enjoying the hobby....
