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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=327982#327982 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:24:59 AM PST US Subject: Yak-List: Re: Prop not turning From: "hammerhead" By the way, Eric is mentioning a "snot valve".

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.

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.
