Whooppeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fired up the HKS for the first time yesterday afternoon. I have two data points to report on.
1- The factory installation procedure for spinning up the engine sans upper plugs in order to establish oil pressure will drain the battery to the point that the engine will not start. The trike has an 18A battery, so I'm sure the recommended 12A would be long flat. The manual says the ignition system requires 9V minimum to operate, and they're not kidding. The engine would crank, but would not fire. Have a fresh warm battery ready if you want to fire the engine after you get the oil pressure up.
2. The engine requires choke for only a few seconds in order to run on a 60 degree F day. The little flat twin rocks, literally, so keep the RPM up a bit.

Rick,
What plane did you mount the HKS on?
