Re: Starting & run-up steps for an O-200 with SDS EFI

What are you using for an alternator? I suggest only one pump on for start and taxi to allow more current available for the starter motor. Both pumps on for takeoff and landing phase incase of a failure at the wrong time. One pump for enroute. I suggest pump #1 for West, #2 for East bound. I am using Walbro pumps and they draw about 7 amps each. I've had trouble with kickbacks with a cold engine. Before I turn on the fuel injection system, I turn both batteries on and hit the start button and cycle the prop for a few blades. Then I go into my regular startup procedure and turn the ignition and fuel injection on for the actual start. Pump number one is connected to battery number one. Pump number two is connected to battery number two. When running pump number two, don't forget to turn battery number two on. I was once surprised at a long cross country, when I was running pump number two but the battery wasn't on. After about 2 hours the engine suddenly stopped because I ran the battery down. Sam
