Thank you! These were exactly the kind of answers I was hoping for. I will look
for the manual lever on the electrical starter valve next weekend. My hopes are
up again! :)
Regards, Henrik

By the way, Eric is mentioning a "snot valve". Where is this located, and how should
it be operated?

That is a knob on a small cylindrical apparatus on the firewall, low and on the
right side. Opening that valve after each flight reduces the build-up of water,
oil, etc. in the air system. I'm guessing if that isn't being blown off, that
residue could be what's freezing in your starter valve. However, there have
been many other suggestions in here by guys who would know since I made that
remark. Just another thing to check.

On the left side of the firewall above the bottom engine mount when standing
in front of the left wing root. Reach in the left side of the cowl. On the
52, it is just above the base of the engine mount. It has a scalloped knob
on the left side of the snot valve. Rotating it counter clockwise opens it
draining the condensation from the previous flight so that it is not
injected into your air system when you start up the next time.
