I was advised by Roger Lee *and* Rotax (LEAF) in my particular situation that I would probably be as happy with less cost by going to the *Bully Hawk / Con Air Soft Start Module* as shown on the Rotax product videos. I installed the "Soft Start" on my Rotax 912ULS early this spring and have been impressed not only with the cold weather starts but now with starts at 90 degrees F plus OAT. As an addendum, it took me longer to remove the cowl than to install the module. The guys at LEAF and / or Roger Lee can explain why it works by adjusting the timing for start. If you don't understand this give them a call...they were more than happy to answer my questions. My advice is to shop around - there is a vast difference in pricing from the various sources. I do not have a method to "measure" the results but IMHO I have experienced MUCH smoother starts with the module installed. I did not have a kick back problem before but added the module to remove the harshness of the typical Rotax start. With the *Bully Hawk* option you only "add" a strap-on module on top of the ignition modules installed on your engine, connect it in line with the "A" module and hook up the ground and a "control" wire to your start solenoid. All parts and connectors are supplied. Couldn't be simpler and I couldn't be happier. Still grinnin!
