REFLECTOR: Franklin

[MikeWatsonSpg at cs.com]

Hiroo,

What ever you do, please do not pump the throttle to 
start the engine. Both Denis and I had fires while trying
to start our engines at F. 40 

I was lucky, no damage. Denis Miller cowls and firewall were
burnt very badly. After that incident, we installed the 
fuel injector rails with a solenoid. Now our procedure 
for starting is the same as Larry stated. Follow Larry's
suggestions and you will be OK.

The Franklin is a great engine, it takes a lot of abuse,
Idles like a dragster and runs as smooth as silk between
2500 and 2700 RPM. Mine has given me excellent service
for nine years now.
