|
|
On firing the starter motor for the first time to check the oil pressure after priming the oil system, my Rotax Flydat screen went blank, then after turning off the starter motor it cycled through the initial start-up screens twice before returning to the normal display. This happened repeatedly on running the starter motor.
Can someone with a flydat tell me if this is normal? And if not normal does it risk damaging the unit if it is caused by sudden voltage changes? Should it be switched off when starting the engine?
Thanks,
Keith Hickling,
New Zealand.

Keith, It always does that which is a pain and one of the failures of the
design. Mine however has survived 7 yrs of starting without switching it
off.

Hi Keith,
Fly-dats only run if they are receiving 12 volts or better. It is quite common for them to blank out when you are running the starter because of the voltage drain from the battery. As soon as the engine is running, it will come up quickly.
