Inertia starters

Post by mik »

I do love a good inertia starter noise - particularly when the engine is reluctant to start. Even better if it's a hand-cranked flywheel, but electric-motor driven flywheel like this one can sound cool too. 8-)

When it does (finally) fire on all cylinders, I swear I can smell this bastard through my monitor 8-)

Anything but electric is cool.

The potato filming was a King Edward.

By the time it spins up quick it’s doing around 150-180rpm and it will die-engage aroun 320rpm. That’s spinning around 12th a of reciprocating parts under compression.

That’s with 2 air starters and a lot of air at 30 bar pressure.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on
