Works very well with a single retard-point mag and no impulse couplings.  Be

sure to only start on the retard point, not on the single-point mag.

Hi Matt C

  

 We installed the Slick Start on our IO-360 (200hp) with a single gel cel battery behind the rear bagage compartment. I felt that the slick start contributed to a quick atart even if the engine was hot (using the hot start procedure). Always got a start. I would install another on my next RV.

I've also used the Slick Start on my Lycoming O-360 for five plus years 

and near 600 hours with a 17 AH RG battery, many "hot" starts, a Skytec 

PM starter and B&C SD-8 PM alternator. I've never experienced better 

overall performance and the elimination of an impulse magneto feature is 

a very positive benefit.

Anyone got anything GOOD to say about a single impulse Slick mags for a 

IO540?  That's what I'm going to be running.

I've had 3 RV's all with O-360. The one with SlickStart fires instantly, far better than the others. I usually give it one stroke of throttle, no primer and she fires immediately in all kind of weather, engine temp hot or cold. Highly recommend same.

Same here Chuck. 
	


If you do your job, it's expected.  Screw up once, however ......  

applies to mags too!

You shouldn't have any problems (unless the AD applies!) and should 

overhaul them at 500 hrs.  The overhaul will really make a difference, 

trust me.
