Default RE: Propane-less starts

I love my P-120, it has been a jewel. But the other big advantage to kero start is that the engine is receiving lubrication right from the get go. With propane start it isn't until the kero ramp starts that lubrication begins. And a small point maybe, but you don't have to buy that ridiculously expensive and hard to find Powermax.

I had some conversation with BMT in the past, and I was impressed with his overall knowledge. It would be nice to see them produced in greater quantities, as I'm sure they would be a high quality alternative. But DavidR's comment about JetCat USA service is spot on. They are the best I have seen.
