Dave,
I didn't see anyone commented on your diode.
Pretty much any diode will do. If you get it backwards, the saving grace i
s the start solenoid is looking for 12 volts. Of course, the solenoid must
be grounded.
Most mistakes are the ground is left off the solenoid when putting on the d
iode. Another problem is guys don=92t insulate the anode side of the diode
and it shorts.
The Rotax manual doesn't comment on the diode. But it is an accepted pract
ice to extend the life of the contacts in the starter solenoid. The Europa
Electrical Chapter 25 advises to use an IN5404 but any will do.
IN5404[cid:image001.png@01D75B0E.9AC39E20]
silicone diode is shown above. Anode or plus side is on the starter switch
tab and the cathode or negative goes to the ground bolt holding on the sta
rter solenoid. I use at least a #18 or 16 wire from the solenoid fastening
bolt to the main firewall ground.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly

I fitted a starter Diode and engine would not start. Orientation was as des
cribed with band end cathode on starter terminal and other end to earth?
Have I got wrong diode.
Any advice appreciated

Dave,
OOPS. Look at the diagram, I misspoke. The cathode side on a solenoid spa
de contact and the anode or positive goes to the ground.
It=92s getting late and the mind is a terrible thing.
Follow the pictures in the Bob Knuckles book or the Europa Electrical Diagr
am.
Goodnight,
Bud Yerly
