William Mills and I discussed this problem at length whilst participating in
the French tour. He was concerned that my sprag clutch was showing signs
similar to those displayed on his engine prior to it having to be replaced.
We reasoned that switching in the magnetos one by one whilst the starter is
turning the engine may overcome the problem. Fortunately with my system it
is possible to do this, so I did.
The result is super! Choke out, turn the engine over with the starter, and
flick in a magneto. The engine smoothly takes over with no sign of a
kickback. Don't forget the second Mag.
Thanks William----- Original Message -----
