While we are on the subject, would like to know what everyone prefers,
Notice you could have multiple selections on this poll, also consider #3 as "Propane with kero option"

Thank you,
Barry

As for the other thread... I'm with KC and a few others.

P-70 & P-80SE... Both are OFF board propane.

Gotta love the $7 plugs and a long easy life for the batteries.

I'm certainly not a 'Kero Start Hater', I just don't mind carrying a propane bottle & regulator with me to an event.

Both work fine, if I had been asked before owning my ks engines I would have gone with gas start but now I vote internal kero, guess it's evolution and progress.

Not sure if any particular manufacturer has more ks issues than any other?

Have P80's with k/s, 150 starts, no problems at all, Gary.
