Wont start!
I am having trouble start my 47. Quite unusual.
Temperature is 9celcius (48F), engine is Lyc 435 and have gone through 2 full battery charges trying to start it with various amounts of prime. Fuels getting though as can see it dripping from carb.
I get the occasional fire and run for less than a second and can hear the Bendix buzzing nicely. The bendix shower of sparks was new 170hours ago. Turning the blades manually doesnt seem to help.
I know some operators use fan assisted gas burners to preheat the engine in cold weather but I would have never thought I might need until it got very cold.
Any ideas?
OOW
