Maintenance that says books are incorrect are not to be trusted in any way.
You need an ignition system connected to the Standby bus, in standard config that is the R. On outbound flights we will always start with the R system to make sure this works as we need in for inflight starts using the standby busses.
Either maintenance puts the L ignitor on the standby system and clears the aircraft, or the aircraft is AOG. Simply starting the engine on the L system to "forget" there is no ignition system connected to the standby system is unsafe.
