Thanks for your responses. Rob, you are correct on my style of the injector. I am going through the manuals and putting together a checklist for startup and taking into consideration some of your comments. I will keep you updated.  Best regards Luis R Claudio, KR2S N8981S On Friday, March 2

Best to keep all away and find the right combination for start. Then do it enough that it can be done in your sleep. On Fri, Mar 27, 2020 at 4:11 PM Kayak via KRnet wrote: > I'm sure others with more experience will comment, but just a few > things pop into my head > > make sure prop is torqued

CPS in California is my go-to place for the different controls because I owned a Mini-Max 1600 and it had all mechanical controls to include the brakes. They have all the different cable assemblies and adjusters for them.  https://www.cps-parts.com/catalog/rtxpages/cpscatalog.php | | | | ca

Hey Luis, I believe I got the same type of engine on my KR2, and the engine starts fairly easy every time I try it. I have a electric primer, so all you need is to turn on the master switch first, and then flip on your main fuel pump (to see if there is at least 3psi pressure). Be sure to turn off

Let's drop this conversation, please. I agree with John that it's simply not right to denigrate an entire country, especially one as nice as Australia, for no apparent reason, so I can't blame him for his response. However, it probably should have been direct to Mike, rather than to the whole
