Hello All,
I hope the season has been good to you all.
I was in the 300DA yesterday. Decided to run the engines on the muffs, since it's been a while. I ran the Starboard first and she fires up right away no issues. Switched everything over and went to fire the Port and nothing. Pushed the Emergency cross over and she lit no problem. Ran it up to temp and shut it down. Went to refire and same, had to use the cross over. I don't remember having to use it before this but it's been a while since I fired it up.
The PO had put two aftermarket ignition switches in the dash. Starboard is more like normal but the Port is a hinky cheaper one. Could this problem be in the switch?
I know the batteries are all clean and connections are tight. And they all test good when separated.
Thanks for reading.
