ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

After moving the engine selector switch to select Engine #2, and then engaging the inertia starter, with fuel pump on, mixture set, mags hot and priming switch on with throttle cracked, the starboard engine will start.

Once running however, the inertia starter switch, and the priming switch remain in the ON position.
Even after resetting them to the OFF position, the engine start selector switch will not move upwards to select Engine #1 (Port Engine).
Using Honeycomb Alpha Yoke but not for starting.

The only solution to start Engine #1 is ye olde faithful Ctrl E…

I’m glad to see someone else is having this issue, I thought I was going mad. I’ve just wasted two hours trying to get this plane started. First engine no issue, booster pump on, energiser, mash, primer…done. On to the second engine, energiser just will not go on. Mesh was switched off, everything as it should be. Gemini said to reset the master battery, I did that, it didn’t work. Nothing works. I don’t want to resort to Ctrl E but it seems I have no choice. Two years on and no fix is pretty poor. Doesn’t matter if I start with the right or left engine, doesn’t matter if I use exclusively ground power, exclusively battery, or both.
