[quote="pbuttles(at)charter.net"]can anyone help me with a few questions?
do you install one pump to run all the time and the other to be a switched boost
pump?
=======
Tracy, I think that you want both electric fuel pumps to be controlled with switches.
My Sky Arrow has the main pump switched with a guarded switch; which
of course runs all of the time unless I want to check the output fuel
pressure of the backup boost pump on the ground by turning off the main pump.

| Subject: | Kick back on starting |
Hi all,
My 914 has just started the evil habit of kicking back when trying to start it
cold. I called Lockwood Aviation and they told me that the sprag clutch probably
needs changing, my engine has nearly 800 hours on it. Anyhow, I called the
mechanic at a nearby airport who works on Rotax's and he came up with some different
advice.
The first one is easy, since the battery is 3 years old maybe its time to swap
it. Its a 18 ah Odyssey and although it seems in good shape maybe its time.
The next advice was if the kick back stuff has just started then is would be easier
to fit a starter engine from a 912S than to go to all of the grief of pulling
the engine, removing the ignition housing, replacing the clutch and so forth.
So, my question to the forum, I seem to recall the Skytec now offer a 912S starter.
Has anyone had any experience with this. Would they happen to be the OEM
supplier to Rotax.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
BTW, the other thing I am looking into is a product called SoftStart sold by the
Rotax agent in the UK. This unit apparently works by starting on one mag and
it retards the timing just for starting. Once the engine fires up it flips
the timing to be correct and you turn on the second mag. I have ordered one
so I will keep you all posted.
