• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Ok guys...
This new Eagle I got it the first fuel injected 4 cylinder I have owned. It is a Barrett 10:1 360. I have been fighting a bad battery and that is probably most of my issue. The method I used to start my 540's is not working the best. I have tried many ways and it seems to not get enough fuel or to much and flood. It has the Christen wobble pump. What method are you guys using to start these fuel injected 360's?
Do you crank cold with mixture in or pulled out? Do you crank with both mags on or just left? I have a keyed mag switch and seperate starter button.
I have the hot start method down ok. Full throttle and lean until it cranks.
