  1. Clipwing added a post in a topic pull starter vs electric start questions   

    Thanks for the feed back !! sticking with the rope pull at the moment .
    C5E I'm well beyond the firewall and really don't want to back up that far into the process...like the "good hearty yank" comment; time to get the free weights out !!
    AKFlyer- thanks I needed that...another paper weight I don't need !!!I'm in a semi warm..coastal NC so in or out not an issue normally .

    Thanks

    pull starter vs electric start questions
    have a question : I'm finishing a build up on a Mk iV has a 582 with a pull starter on it ; and the A&P I'm working with asked why I didn't go to an electric starter. Anyone have comments either way? Is pull starting this engine all that difficult normally .....or ?

    Any "issues" or problems with either system...parts breaking , gears, bad recoil ...etc??

    Finally...I see ads for a GPL electric starter for the Rotax engines...is this starter set up differently (ads say "compact...only 3" deep")than the standard Rotax starter (refered to as a 6 O'clock mounted starter and needs the fire wall to be relieved) ...
    any comments/ info would be appreciated

    Thanks
