enGine Startup and runninG

With the fuel solenoids open and ignition occurring, the engine starts. Engine startup and running may be briefly
described as follows:

• Voltage pulses from the ignition magnetos are delivered to the circuit board via Wire 18. Once the circuit board

determines that the engine is running, the circuit board (a) terminates cranking, and (b) terminates the choke
solenoid (CS), and (c) turns on an “engine warm-up timer”.
