Should they both be activated by the start switch and start on both modules. or select only one module to start then activate the second by going to both. I have only wired up one module at the moment but have installed wire to be used from the second module if it is ok to do so.? Any experts out there?

If only one soft start module was fitted, then it would probably be wise to start using only that one to reduce the likelihood of the "kickbacks" such as ruined my first starter sprag clutch. That was when I had two earlier design ignition modules, but now that I have the current design of modules both incorporating a few seconds of ignition timing retardation, I start using both modules without hassles.

If a 914 is wired as per Europa's schematic, if the battery is taken off line Fuel Pump #1 will run off the generator. Question: Is there an RPM where the generator will not supply enough power to keep Fuel Pump #1 running? In other words if on final with pump #1 running only on generator and you pull power will the engine quit? Thx. Ron P.
