Subject: | Re: Housai prop - VERY slow spin on start - help |
Thanks guys! The reason I did mention the battery is because I do not have a trickle
charger on it and it went dead when the airplane sat for 5 months. The first
start I did out of annual was very similar (slow) on a weakly charged battery.
Subsequent starts seemed OK until the other day. You are most likely correct
Mark about shot batteries since the batteries (2-12 volts in series) are
5-6 years old. I'll try the landing light test as well as the manual start and
report back.
Thanks again!

Better yet Kieth just go the battery source and buy a new set. You have squeezed
the lift out of those.
