Hey Jim Brown
Thx. for your imput.
I believe the 914 that is used in the Europa is not a certified motor.
Matters no none not, the "Reccomended" TBO is still a thousand hours i
believe.
Not ever reading or fooling with motor, i kinda sortta find it hard to
believe that your starter motor has to crank motor over at 1200rpm to
light it off.
Perhaps it may be true that the magnito may need 1200rpm to begin
working, but perhaps there is some sorta other trigger? low speed
starting feedback like shower of sparks on Lycs.?
I am listing just what i heard thus far. If there is conflicts, good to
know both sides, then probe.
I am now curious if you can hand prop a 914?
If anyone is changing plugs, would be a neat test to see if there is
spark on one or both mags by hand propping.
