| Subject: | jumpstarting a Rocket |
Does anyone know of a product that allows one to jumpstart a Rocket when
the battery has run down?
I have 10 to 1 pistons and after flying for a while, getting gas, I am
unable to start due to very high resistance to cranking caused, I assume
by the hot engine. After cooling for 2 hours or so, she turns easy and
starts right up. I thought the problem was with the P680s being 4-5
years old so I replaced them. No improvement to the problem. All
suggestions welcome.
TIA,
Jim Stone

My normal piston IO-540 J4A5 turns over very easily once it is hot. So,
I don't have a clue.

Are you sure you don't have a hydrostatic lock?
