Intermittent Hard Start 912uls
in General Tech Discussion
9 years ago
I have a 2005 912uls installed in a Kitfox (about 360 hrs). It has been a great starter both cold and hot until recently. On one occasion the engine barely started after a long series of cranks. More recently it would not start at all and I quit trying when the battery was drained. It cranks fine but will not fire. I pulled the plugs and they looked fine (less than 10 hours on them). I dropped one fuel bowl and it was full of fuel. I verified my ignition circuit was not the problem. I did not try to start it again for about 2 weeks. I charged the less than one year old battery and tried again. This time it fired right up like it usually does and ran fine. I am aware that a good rpm is needed to start and it seemed like I had that.
I have seen the string on the trouble with ignition modules. I seem to remember from my Lockwood Training class that you need to be careful checking spark or you will damage the modules. If this happens again, is there someway to check spark or check the modules? Any other ideas out there?
Thanks.
