Would you happen to know where I can find one of these unique screw-in fuse holder? Secondly, I'm new to Allegro. I'm having starting issues. When I pulled the prop through to check the oil and then try to start the engine with the auxiliary fuel pump on, I believe the engine may be flooded. Conversely, if I try to start the engine with one half inch joke, auxiliary fuel pump off, and throttle off, I think it may not be getting enough fuel. I have run down two batteries so far. What is your recommendation for starting on a warm sunny day, roughly 80 F to 90 F ? (hope the photo is viewable. There is no "posted attachments" to click on per the instructions) Thanks for your help, Dee -------- The Past is History The Future is a Mystery Today is a Gift Thats Why They Call it the Present Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=460246#460246 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:12:26 AM PST US Subject: Re: Allegro-List: fuse holder and starting procedure From: Larry Edson Dee, You maybe able to source the fuse holder you need from Doug Hempstead at Allegro USA. That's my source for replacement parts. The starting procedures are somewhat different for a Rotax engine verses a Lycoming or Continental. I start mine when it's cold by turning on the aux fuel pump until I have fuel pressure and then turn off the aux fuel pump, engage the choke fully, throttle to full idle, both ignitions on, and start. Once it's running smoothly, I disengage the choke slowly and throttle to 2200 RPM for warm up. In subsequent starts after the engine is warm I don't have to use the choke. I wish you luck. Let us know how you do. Larry Sent from my iPad > On Sep 4, 2016, at 1:02 PM, Dee One wrote: > > > I am looking to replace a missing fuse holder like the one shown in the photo.

If it isn't firing, don't forget to check the obvious... ignition switche s on, fuel valve on. Also check that your fuel shutoff knob isn't loose. The knob is basically a metal rod that runs from the panel to the valve o n the firewall. Mine once came loose with the fuel valve in the partially closed position. (which was exciting when the engine started running rou gh shortly after take off, even though it was getting enough fuel for a 4 ,000 RPM runup).
