Tired of pulling the string on my 582

12 posts in this topic

Don't they make one with the electric start on the gear drive? You just change the housing? Seems like I remember seeing one. I don't want to put one on the rear because of the firewall mods, and I want to keep the string pull.

I think this is it? But looking at it... It would be too tall and interfere with the cowling?

The picture showed a 582 with an E gearbox on it.  The E box has the electric start built in.  Adds some weight right at the front of the plane.  I believe there is also an electric starter that goes between the pull starter and the engine.  The starter sticks out at a 90 degree angel from the crankshaft.  Jim Chuk

Oh, okay. Thanks. That one is way off.

The rear mounted 90* starter you still have to mod firewall. I just didn't want to cut, etc the firewall. I guess I need to lift some weights instead! ;)

There is nothing wrong with the 582 pull start,the 582 needs 300 rpm to get a good spark keeping the plug gaps narrow also helps .Be careful you don't elbow your passenger in he face

Nothing is wrong. I can start it, but when I start it cold I am usually outside the plane. More for convenience's sake.
