Evening Dave
My engine is into Conrad Beal tomorrow to have the sprag clutch sorted.
I am a bit miffed about it, as it is only a 912ul with 120 hours on.
Will try your method next week when the engine is reinstalled.
Intend to look at the larger starter and see what is under the cover. I
just wonder if the cover over the end can be cut away a little and
reshaped to accommodate the engine mount on the classic.
Regards
Pete

I admit that the first time I started the engine this way it did feel
like I was running out of hands. However I quickly realised that there
was no need to touch the throttle in this process so it is just a case
of throttle closed, turn key with second hand on the choke. Once it is
turning over nicely, pull the choke and as soon as it fires, let go of
the key and flick the switch that activates the second mag. Then move
over to the throttle and everything else is as it used to be. Yes it is
awkward but it does start nicely and it's a lot less awkward that
changing the whole plane to an XS cowling configuration.
