JUSTNUZZA Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Does anyone know if the ACS key switch can be rewired to run on one mag in the start position ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I don't know, but I would prefer two switches and a start button Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDQDI Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Why would want to JN? Don't know about others but starting on one mag is a loft softer with the rotax also with shutdown always one shut off just before the other seems a fair bit gentler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTNUZZA Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 I want to install the Bullyhawk soft start module which requires one mag to be not operating at startup. Why would want to JN? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 It is certainly better on shutdown. Less clunking due lower revs. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 There were also issues with Rotax mags not firing at low RPM. You only found out one had failed when the second failed (starting on both mags). I now start on alternate mags. A few threads on this forum about it I think. Personally, I don't think you can beat individual mag (toggle) switches and a starter key/button.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetboy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The ACS switch comes with instructions for starting with only one active mag, which is the usual configuration on lycoming engines. If I remenber correctly there is a link wire to connect to another terminal - so it earths out the unwanted mag when the key is turned to "start" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
