Just a thought electric starter |

Hi not trying to teach my granmother to suck eggs (that's what |
|
they say in the uk) but having read the section on starter |
|
motors with a single cylinder motorcyle I usually prime the |
|
engine and rest it just over tdc and the use the button to start |
|
this allows it one and a half turns before tdc again giving |
|
momentum to the flywheel and giving the starter and easy task |
|
single cylinder engines come to rest just before tdc when |
|
stopped on the key ie not enough energy to get over compression |
|
if this prolongs the life of the dyno start it can't be a bad |
|
thing |
|
Regards mike |

I've never read what the recommended starting procedure is for |
|
the Dynastarter, but for the kickstart, it's not what you would |
|
expect. The book says to pull in the valve lifter, and kick |
|
until the motor is spiinnng well, and then drop the lifter, much |
|
in the same way that old Lister diesels in dump trucks and |
|
cement mixers were started, using the kinetic energy of the |
|
flywheel to start it. I wonder if the same recommendation |
|
applies to the Dynastarter, allowing it to spin the motor up |
|
with valve lifter open, and the dropping to start? |
|
Incidentally, I always roll my Harley backwards in gear onto |
|
compression when I stop, so the starter gets that same easy ride |
|
when it's time to go again... |

Hi I have a diesel stationary engine just like you say cock the |
|
decompressor and wind over fast as you can the the the |
|
decompressor flies of automatically then with luck you get the |
|
putt putt sound and your up and running so yes this may be the |
|
better way especially if they recommend that |
|

I just treat it like any big single. Ease over TDC, open |
|
enrichener, one swing to bring the fuel in, then over TDC again, |
|
switch on, and one swing to start. Works every time. |
|
I've never fancied the other method as it'll just wear out the |
|
kickstart, but on the electric foot, it might be the way to go? |
