Howdy folks,
Cranking the engine and then turning the ignition on is not equivalent to how
the
Soft Start module functions. The purpose of the SSM is to keep the ignition
retarded while the starter is operating. Given the fact that Rotax have now
altered
the ignition timing on new engines so as to retard the ignition even more
during starting, it is arguable that the earlier ignition systems don't retard
enough so, even if a SSM is fitted, there's still a chance that a kickback
could occur. Having said that, I believe a lot of people who have fitted the
SSM have seen a benefit.
Cheers,
Mark
