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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:47:44 PM PST US From: "Tim Yoder" Subject: RE: JabiruEngine-List: Starter issue with 2200 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.

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.
