Many times my 912 ULS will not start on the soft start alone. I have synced the carbs and the engine runs great and idles well but sometimes just won't start without the other ignition being on. I'm glad you'ree having better service and grinnin.

1. 09:26 AM - Soft Start Module on 912ULS (Philip Smith)

Subject: Soft Start Module on 912ULS
From: Philip Smith <madriver42(at)gmail.com (madriver42(at)gmail.com)>
To answer Peter Thomson's question about the Rotax "Soft Start Modules"
available from Rotax.
I was advised by Roger Lee *and* Rotax (LEAF) in my particular situation
that I would probably be as happy with less cost by going to the *Bully
Hawk / Con Air Soft Start Module* as shown on the Rotax product videos.
I installed the "Soft Start" on my Rotax 912ULS early this spring and have
been impressed not only with the cold weather starts but now with starts at
90 degrees F plus OAT. As an addendum, it took me longer to remove the
cowl than to install the module.
The guys at LEAF and / or Roger Lee can explain why it works by adjusting
the timing for start. If you don't understand this give them a call...they
were more than happy to answer my questions. My advice is to shop around -
there is a vast difference in pricing from the various sources.
I do not have a method to "measure" the results but IMHO I have experienced
MUCH smoother starts with the module installed. I did not have a kick back
problem before but added the module to remove the harshness of the typical
Rotax start.
With the *Bully Hawk* option you only "add" a strap-on module on top of the
ignition modules installed on your engine, connect it in line with the "A"
module and hook up the ground and a "control" wire to your start solenoid.
All parts and connectors are supplied. Couldn't be simpler and I couldn't
be happier.
Still grinnin!

Hello Stan,
Have you tried removing the SSM and then starting on just one ignition? If that works reliably re-install the SSM but don't connect the red wire so that it's not activated when you activate the starter and see if it starts reliably then. At least then you would know if the problem is caused by the presence of the SSM (active or not) or whether it's some other part of the ignition system that's causing the problem.
Cheers,
Mark
