How slower learner can a person be!!. When your trailer lights play up you check the earth, when 12 months ago PIK20E PIK would not turn the starter fast enough it was crook earth, when the radio does not transmit properly or interference check earth or better still run an earth direct from battery to radio. Also check the aerial is earthing correctly. Andy Jowetts Pitts was always slow at starting and went in for 100hly and still the same. The next 100hly another LAME realised there was NO EARTH and for years starter was getting its earth through the throttle outer cable.
Recently Jabiru brought out a Service Bulletin to run the earth direct to starter. Thought that was a good idea. Our Jabiru falke would never run real fast at start up and sure enough today I went to add the earth and there it was earth wire not as tight as it should be. I notice recently in Nigel Andrews (mr glider radio inventor) RV he had 2 earth wires from frame to engine. So if for some reason or other you have similar problems the first "check the earth" Ian McPhee
