MODEL RSA-5 AND RSA-10AD1
FIELD ADJUSTMENTS
STARTING PROCEDURES
5-1. The following starting procedures have proven successful; however, if there is a conflict,
information given in the Aircraft Operation Manual should be followed.
A. Cold Starts
1. Mixture control in the idle cut-off position.
2. Set throttle 1/8 open.
3. Master switch - ON.
4. Boost pump switch - ON.
5. Move mixture control to FULL RICH until the fuel flow indicator reads 4 to 6 GPH then immediately return
mixture control to cut-off position.
NOTE. On installations where a fuel flow indicator is not used allow 4-5 seconds in place of reading 4 to 6 GPH on the gauge.
6. Engage starter -- when engine starts move mixture control to full rich position.
B. Warm Starts
Use the same procedure for cold starts except the boost pump may be left "off" and step 5 eliminated.
DO NOT PRIME
The above is generic and is from the Precision Airmotive Operation & Service Manual 15-338E.
Usual caveats apply but trust me it works. Why? Its too many years since I have worked on these things!!
