After many years of trouble free starting I recently began having problems. Initially thought perhaps it was a fuel problem but testing of AFP injection system showed it was delivering fuel at the proper rate at full throttle and idle positions. My PC680 battery was getting on in age, but the engine was still turning over when starting so I dismissed that as the problem. I was wrong, and Brad at emagair set me straight. While the engine was turning over at start, the voltage was being dragged down to the point that the Pmags were not functioning and of course at that low rpm they weren?t generating their own power either. Installed a new battery and all is well.
Feeling a little silly now, but maybe this will save someone else with pmags some head scratching when they suddenly have a startup problem.
