Some are oil pressure driven, others are electric and run off the master. I think there is another kind as well but can't remember what drives it. Anyone?
The one in my Citabria is driven by oil pressure. I know this because we recently replaced the pressure switch (oil was dripping on my leg one day.) I hate it when oil/fuel drips on my legs, especially when I'm flying along.Let'sgoflying! said:It won't start til you begin stuffing the dollars into the slot

Yea, from what I understand, purchasing and errorstar is the cheapest part of the transaction. Fast, sleek, one door under a prop, and parts and skilled mechanics that are getting very difficult to find. But it sure is fun to fly.
Best,
