Thank you all for the input. My battery is an Odyssey=2C and I am reading 1
2.5V. It turns the prop at a rapid rate=2C and there is some ignition=2C bu
t not enough to keep it going.I will try try to jump start with my car righ
t from the beginning to eliminate or confirm a battery problem. Re-starting
the warm engine is instantaneous.My throttle is at idle.

I am agree with this: check first the battery. I had the same problem=2C re
charging the battery didn't solve the pb=2C and no more pb with a new "odys
sey" batteryregardsyannick LAURENSF PSCZ mono 912

ure that your battery have enough power! Even a miner drop in battery-capac
ity will result in starting problems. The battery must be in good condition
and be well charged.Regards Gert / OY-GDS / Mono / 914

need resetting but where you commence doing that will need you to research
the procedure.RegardsBob Harrison G-PTAG From: owner-europa-list-server@mat

In addition to my other problems my engine now won't start with the choke o
nly. I have to make repeated attempts=2C until eventually I get it going wi
th no choke and a little throttle.My throttle minimum idle position is at a
round 1300rpm. I assume it has something to do with the carbs=2C but they w
ere serviced by a Rotax agent not very long ago. Has anyone got any ideas w
here I should look ? I am able to start on one magneto for a softer start.
This is not my year=2C but at least the glider wings have been up a few tim
es. Karl
