Hi All,

I am considering making a change to my LH bottom sub panel, (the one
normally with switches usually). I have an ACS keyed switch for the mags
that includes the start position. I may trade it for one without the start
position. I heard or read that starting the 912S is easier if you start with
only one mag thereby eliminating some kick back. I would have to get a
seperate start push button switch to do this. I know most would say just get
the bigger starter. I wish there was one available that would fit the
classic installation. I went to a lot of work and expense to get the spinner
fitted and the radiator arrangement, cowling opening doors, inlet ducts for
cool air, cold air plenum mod, and on and on... Suffice to say I want to
keep my classic cowl and this means I can't get the bigger starter. Darn it!
So I want to make it as easy as possible for the standard starter to do its
job. If starting on one mag will help I want to change the panel now while
I'm at this stage. This also requires a lot of backtracking as I have the
front of the panel done, including the labeling. 

My questions are; will starting on one mag really help the anemic starter?
How many of you are running the 912S with the standard starter and not
having any problems starting? I really don't want to use a bigger battery
but I may have to go that route. I am still a long way from actual testing
but I need to get this panel wired. You know how it goes, the bridge you
build today needs to hold you up when you eventually try to walk across it.
Can I get a few opinions on this to arrive at a consensus? Thanks to this
valuable forum.
