Pressurizing the system
I have a YS 110. In order to pressurize the system how open should the throttle be before starting (ie when turning over the prop prior to attaching the glo driver) Will the system pressurize with the throttle closed and turning the prop? Once started, how long does it take to come up to full pressure ( keeping it at low throttle?) Thanks.

RE: Pressurizing the system
Open the throttle fully.
DO NOT ATTACH THE STARTING BATTERY YET.
Run the engine with the starter for 5 to 10 seconds.
Close the throttle to a point just above idle.
Attach the starting battery and start the engine.
Run at a fast idle for 30 seconds to warm the engine and assure tank pressure.
Fly and have fun!
