Starter pedal and oil temp.gauge

[Casey]

Hi,
At first the starter pedal worked fine, but after the engine quit during warming up it only makes a clicking sound and does not work anymore. Also at first the oil temp. gauge was working fine but after a restart the oil temp.gauge registrates no indications at all.
Can you help me out please?

Regards, Casey

Hi Casey,

Have you checked the circuit breakers on the right hand side of the cockpit?

Cheers,

Also, Casey, if your starter is only clicking, it could be that you drained your battery while trying to start. A trip to the Shift-7 Hangar will recharge your battery automatically, and allow you to replace your starter if you need to.

Hope this helps-

Hi Nick and Joe, thanks for your answers, I'll check this out tomorrow and let you know. I think you are both right, the circuitbreaker for the oiltemp.gauge and empty battery for the pedalstarter. Thanks again and happy Xmas from the Netherlands.

Hi Nick and Joe,
Handprop is still a problem every now and then. Sometimes it works fine and the other day the prop only turns a few times and stops..

If the prop stops while handcranking you have encountered hydraulic lock. Oil in the lower cylinders. Use the oil cleaning kit in shift + 4 or 3 panel. This will drain that oil.

Thanks very much for the solution Gulredrel.
