Pardon me for asking, but is the rest of the electrical system up to par?
Corrosion (resistance) in the charging system wiring, or starter circuit.
Bad starter, alternator, regulator.
Just a few of the things that cause thease problems

The MOOSE quick builds come from the factory with -AD driven hard rivets, so I just kept using them in as many places as possible. By planning ahead most were a one person job. The few pulled rivets used such as wet wing access pannles were filled with epoxy and lightly sanded. The finished plane re...

I had painted my Moose pure white, then clear coat, and added the colors with vinyl. An automotive sign shop / Print store, in Folsom CA, made all the "decals" and came 30 miles to my house and put them on the plane, all for about $500.00. They did a beautifull job, this was a 12" away good job, not...

I gave some thought to a Chevy by Bud Warren in Texas (deceased) It sure ran nice on a test stand at OSH some years back. You can't have too much horse power! You can always thrott...

I used the HOBBY-AIR System for all my needs. A friend loaned it to me, Now I am trying to buy it from him.

My thinking is IF YOU MUST USE THOSE 2 PART EPOXI PAINT PRODUCTS, YOU MUST USE A GOOD SAFE BREATHING SYSTEM. For me ...end of discussion!
