One flick starts, is this a myth?
Hi:
I have heard of starting a diesel engine by only having t flick the prop one time. This was done in Combat and Team Race events. Is this possible? If so how is this done?
I have a MVVS D7 that may be be broken in enough to do this and a ST G20-15D that has had a fresh chrome job to try one flip starts but I am wating for warmer weather. I also have an O.S. FP .40 with a Davis head that I am afraid to flip with my finger! It has to be started almost dry with no prime or choke into the engine or else it will be flooded. If this engine becomes flooded, it becomes nearly leathal!
Any suggestions?
How many flips of the prop do you take to get your Diesel engine started?
