@Black-Square said in Impossible to repair piston duke starter in some circumstances:
I think this same situation has caught me off guard once too. Repairing the starter should work to restore power, but in some circumstances, it may not reset the circuit breaker for the starter motors, which is located on the vertical breaker panel on the right of the cockpit.
It's a very long story why this happens, and why it can only happen with the right engine. If that was the issue, I apologize that this strange programming corner-case caught you too. Trust me, I would have fixed it now if I could think of a convenient way to do it. I should revisit it and see if I have any new ideas.
Thanks for explaining the problem. So I can reset the CB if this happens? This is a brilliantly deep simulation.
One other thing, cranking in high ambient temp conditions (~ 30 deg C) can cause the battery to overheat. Recharging it or repairing the engine doesn't cool it down and starter torque is dismal in this condition. What can I do in that situation?
