Finally - got LOM engine to start easy - Had the starter rewound, installed a slick-start from Unison, and enlarged the primer fuel enjector opening - starts very easily now. Thanks to all who have helped.

Hi Bob,

 I have a 337CE in the Spitfire.  The only way  I can start it is at full throttle, which must be doing some harm to the engine  when cold.

 Would you tell me more about the slik-start from  unison.  Is it easy to install?  Does it replace the "shower of  sparks" unit?  Would you send me their email addr. please.

 Thanks.

Dave - it from Unison.... Spruce sells them. it is very similar to the "buzzer" which is model T technology - that the Czechs have with the engine. It is a direct plug in - Luke Wuest on the LOM forum let me know about it. It was very easy to install. I had issues with the starter (had it rewound) and that is better now. The book says to start with the throttle half open. It fires and runs pretty fast, but it is easy to pull it back. Google Slick-Start Unison and that'll give you the information. in the past six months they have gone upf rom 330 bucks to 425 bucks. 

 

let me know if I can help!

Hi Bob,

 A couple more questions,

 What engine do you have and what  magnetos?

 Which if the slick-start models did you  install?  the 1001 or 1002?

 Thanks again.
