| Subject: | Starter issue with 2200 |
Hello,
my name is Frank and I have a Kolb MkIII Xtra with a Jab2200.
It has always been hard to start when cold and I am tryingto get that fixed.
I got a new battery but I still have the sameissue, it cranks very slowly at
first start, or barely turns overat all, and I think it has to do with the grounding
of the starter.
I read that the starter needs a grounding strap to helpreduce the resistance from
the mounting to the frame.
Also , there is some recommendation to change the starter toa Silver body vs a
black body..
If anyone has more details I would love to get feedback.
My cell is (408)802-4896. Or pls reply to this post.
Thank you
FrankD
N1014S, MkIII Xtra.

Hi Frank,
I have an early 3300 with a Black starter also. There needs to be an
additional ground wire from a starter mounting bolt to the case. I will take
a photo of mine tomorrow and send it to you. How far is your battery from
the engine? My old black starter works just fine. It sounds like once you
run the engine to where it is hot it will restart ok, is that correct? If
that is true it sounds like a ground issue or your cables are to small. Also
, check all of your connections.
Tim

Hi Frank,
The silver body starter will help, it's a lot more powerful. But only if
you get the electric current to the starter with minimal losses. So that
strap will help, it reduces electrical resistance from battery to the
starter. All other connections need to be good as well, so check that
your ground path is good, and that your starter relay is in good condition.
Other things to look at: A battery with low internal resistance. Not all
battery's are made equal. For me a LiFePO4 (EarthX or similar) made a
huge difference, and shaved 5 kg off the weight of the plane.
Hope this helps,
Rob
