hot. Engine in fine tune, normally starts within 5 secs. of ign on. at

Saw an AirStart on a small tugboat on the Upper Yukon river years ago.
The boat had 2 mains and two gensets, all with an AirStart. They had
a hand driven AirPump to get the pressure up on the smallest genset.
Took about 10 minutes to get enough pressure to spin the first one,
then it ran the aircompressor to build up pressure for the rest.
No Batteries anywhere onboard. Winter layup, was tie her up in a slough
and catch the next plane out. They used a propane torch to supply
hot air to the first engine to make starting much easier. Really nice
setup.
