What the Rotax "Soft Start" sounds like

Just finished the first installation on a CTLS. I have one other that is getting it too.

 

These engines were installed after the old ones hit TBO, but it wasn't until earlier this year that I found out that both of those engines shipped with the new modules and flywheels but the wiring for the modules was never installed. I was NOT the one that hung these engines.

 

Here's a short demo!

My Sky Arrow is about like Corey's example - the roughness is rather subtle for 3-5 seconds. Original flywheel, circa 2007.

 

I don't think "trying to shake itself apart" is normal, and should probably be investigated.

 

BTW, thanks for the video, Corey!

It will shake a bit until it switches timing. It sounds terrible but that's expected, especially if the RPM is really low (this one goes down to ~1100 at idle while starting with retarded timing). I'm curious where your threshold of "too much" is at. Can you do a recording?
