Hi Vin,

The price on the PST J600 still stands as quoted on the website at $2100 for full auto-start. Our AMA is delayed due to unforseen reasons. We will work this out.

FYI: Its not "hard" on the turbine to spool up via electric motor and bendix type clutch, theoretically and practically. Good turbine design combines with good combustion chamber will prove this. Just think about it, if the motor is wet, you will get fire either way and that's the job for fire extinguisher.

If the engine is suspected to be flooded or wet, electric motor can be used to blow out the fuel by initiating the start with glow plug cap removed. Its better, of course, not to skip the check list and forget to close the fuel valve.

Happy holidays.
