Hello guys,

I have an Evolution 116CC gasser (same as MVVS 116CC) and i was once told that i should never start it with choke closed, i.e. flick the prop with choke closed until it starts and quits, and then open choke and start (like with DA, 3W etc) since there is something about possibly damaging the Evolution's reed valves.

im absolutely not sure if this is correct, but so far i have been flicking it 10 times choke closed (ignition off), open ignition and choke and start, and while this works, the first method is easier and quicker.

is the first method indeed a problem with the Evolution 116CC ?

thanks.
