Hello all, have been keenly following the latest  postings re the electronic ignition ideas as well as how easy it it to  hand prop the M14P (from Bill Lang).

  

 Have just returned from what was to be a long tour  around outback Australia and it turned out to be 'if I knew then what I know  now' story.

  

 If interested read about it by clicking on the  following link:-

 No doubt the 'old stagers' know about these things  but it is posted here for 'new chums'

  

 Regards, Phil Gower.

  

 p.s. as an electrical engineer if I can offer my  services to any ideas re electronic ignition then I would be happy to  assist.

Fun story. Good thing I wore my Australian phraseology guessing hat. Time spent getting one's 18T running is still a lot more fun than real work, especially with the right companion.

I know of the trip that Phil is talking  about.

 We have just spent 10 days from South Australia  flying around the same areas and encountered some extremely cold  mornings.

 17 miles out of an outback town (If one could call  it that) we encountered real heavy rain and got down on the deck but decided not  worth the risk.

 Landed on a strip at a outback cattle station and  spent the night there only to wake up the next morning to find the 18T down to  the axles in mud from all the overnight rain.

  

 Point is that in the cold weather, ignition OFF and  prime whilst someone turning the prop over and wait for a min or so before  starting.

 I have never had a problem with cold starts. And we  did have some real cold mornings and the Old Girl sitting outside all  night.

 Mind you, I am not talking about the freezing temps  as in the US, Europe or the UK, but it still gets dammed cold hear in  Australia.

 I have a friend that carries out this proceedure  every time he starts his 18T and it fires up instantly.

  

 Cheers,

 Chris.
