installed soft start today

[FlyinFish N928M]

Hello Patrick

That is great news to hear, I am considering the same with LEAF. Most people I speak with about this say it is well worth the money and much easier vibration on the airframe/electronics
Think the new conversion comes in around $2,400 with labor.

My 2003, 912ULS and has the green stripe coils atop the engine, yet to be fired up for testing.

Appreciate the commentary.

Has anyone else installed the soft start conversion on their 912's? ... and to what level of success?

another alternative is to lower the base idle and start with the throttle pulled all the way back. once it starts you add throttle. cheaper than 2200 dollars in my book. no, you don't run it at low idle, you give it throttle to keep 2000 rpm. you could just put in a McFarlane throttle I suppose. Oh, it's important to choke it with mags off for about 6 seconds first.

either way, you have to have a smooth start or you will take out the 1 way clutch, a real bummer.

I put the bully-hawk in my 2003 912S after a few rough starts ( ~9 years ago), has been smooth starting ever since.

Does anybody know where to get one of the modules?
