    It's not uncommon to change mixture during start on a fuel injected Lycoming (I have a C4B5 F1 Rocket as well) Typically: 1. Full throttle + Mixture full rich 2. Electric fuel pump on for 4-5 seconds, then off 3. Throttle back to only 1/4" + Mixture full lean 6. Crank the engine 7. When it fires, Mixture full rich immediately Priming like this saturates the head intakes (cos the injectors are ALL squi rting continuously into each cylinder head i.e. fuel/air only goes into a cy linder when the intake valve opens), then idle cut off stops all fuel flow. A s the rich mixture leans down to optimum value during cranking (which doesn' t take long) the engines fires ... reintroduce fuel and it runs. Super relia ble, just prime less when hot starting.

    The procedure stated below is identical to mine, with one exception, ( I also had a fuel injected eng.) I never changed the mixture setting during startup, always mixture full off after priming. if not it was subject to flooding..and always cranked very quickly. Only exception, sometimes I used full throttle on startup. Billy In a message dated 8/9/2015 5:20:50 A.M.

    Subject: Starting problem
    Jim, I have the same setup as you do on a IO 540 D4A5 except I am using auto plugs on the lower plugs with the ElectroAir. I also had this same setup on another home built with no issues. I was told by ElectroAir that the system will produce spark down to approx. 8 volts. Regardless of what I have been told vs what you have been told, I have no issues with cold starts. In fact, my cold starts are quick and easy. I am having issues with hot starts but it is related to fuel vaporization after the airplane sits for a short period of time after a flight and the engine gets heat soaked. I have a plenum over the engine vs the baffling which I believe is contributing to my problem. The only suggestions I have: 1. Maybe battery is starting to show it=99s age and you are starting to get voltage drops below what the EIS can handle? 2. Maybe starting is showing its age and drawing more power than it should be? 3. Are all connections/crimps in starting circuit ok? Maybe that is causing more power draw than required? Hope this helps.

    Jim, My C4B5 powered HR2 was setup identical to yours. My Concorde battery was in the baggage cpt for CG and lagged starting very similarly to yours. I switc hed plugs to Denso L14U plugs and used my Elextroair on the lowers and chang ed to Champion 37BY plugs on the Mag. I switched to an odyssey PC925 and pro blem solved. Hope this helps...

    If you install the P model of the EMag you will have no problem with the ignition element of starting your IO540. My O360 starts instantly once I installed the PMag. Additionally, you'll get a self contained generator which will supply voltage to the ignition if the ship power fails. I saw the 6 cylinder version of the PMag at Oshkosh and Brad said they are close to a ship date.

    From: Rob Ray <smokyray@rocketmail.com>
    Hey JBB, I wasn't aware that Brad at EMAG Air had broken the code for an IO540 PMag.( I had a PMag on my RVX post HR2, great product) The IO540 has a different accessory case gear drive for the mag that require s all electronic ignition systems (so far) to use a crank sensor mounted on t he prop flange. The normal PMag setup is an accessory case gear drive instal lation which until reading your email wasn't in existence. If this is accurate it's great news indeed.

I saw the 6 cyl inder version of the PMag at Oshkosh and Brad said they are close to a ship d ate.

    Rob: Yes to your inquiry, the problem is that they've been working on their 6-cylinder version for 6-7 years. It has been promised for delivery many times in the past, but the "signs" are that this time it may actually happen. Those showing an early interest were asked for down payments about two months ago. You might want to get in line soon if you want one. Lee...

    .... So the solution is an unproven device that is not yet available? It sou nds to me that this is a voltage droop problem which would also affect a P-M AG type ignition. In my opinion, the simplest way is to fix the voltage droop: new main batter y, better wiring or by using an ignition holdover battery (aka essential bus ). The purpose of the new battery is to spin the starter at a high enough r pm with minimal voltage droop. The purpose of the holdover battery is to pr event low voltage kickback and to provide temporary ignition power in the ev ent of a main bus failure. ===== Vernon R.

    Hi Stu, I will try your exact starting procedure, it is similar to what I am using. I suspect I am flooding the engine and with late spark introduction, it get s worse with the increase in cranking seconds.

    Subject: Re: Starting problem
    Hi Bruce, I started my trouble shooting with two new Odyssey P650 batteries. Starter is a B&C starter with 650 hours and many more starts. Wiring is goo d as evidenced by good cranking rpm and endurance. How many seconds of cranking does it take your engine to start? I watched the power light on my EIS controller as I cranked, it appears as t hough there is a steady green light until it produces a spark on start, I wi ll verify this tomorrow with a call to ElectroAir. Do you know of anyone fi nding relief from the slick start? Thanks for your help, Jim Stone > On Aug 9, 2015, at 9:06 AM, Bruce Topp <bdtopp@comcast.net> wrote: > > Jim, > > I have the same setup as you do on a IO 540 D4A5 except I am using auto pl ugs on the lower plugs with the ElectroAir. I also had this same setup on a nother home built with no issues. I was told by ElectroAir that the system will produce spark down to approx. 8 volts. Regardless of what I have been told vs what you have been told, I have no issues with cold starts. In fac t, my cold starts are quick and easy. I am having issues with hot starts b ut it is related to fuel vaporization after the airplane sits for a short pe riod of time after a flight and the engine gets heat soaked.

    Hey Smokey, I'll keep the plug info and idea in mind unless you realized a significant i mprovement in your starting when you changed them out.

    From: Rob Ray <smokyray@rocketmail.com>
    Hi Jim, I have used the slick start on an RV10 with a C4B5 I delivered several year s ago. As I remember it worked well using the standard: Cold start 5 seconds of boost both mags on mixture lean throttle cracked. Mixture rich at initia l start indication. Hot: same except boost on entire time and during ground ops. New hotter plugs really helped my Rockets hot start success along with the b oost pump on and going to a skytech hi power starter and PC925. My friend "VB"still has the RV10 with slick start and can be reached for inf o at vdbod@hotmail.com V/R Smokey Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 9, 2015, at 19:01, Jim Stone <jrstone54@att.net> wrote: > > Hey Smokey, > I'll keep the plug info and idea in mind unless you realized a significant improvement in your starting when you changed them out.
