Hello all I can say is more often or not the clutch does not disengage on my polini 200 which means pulling the flash starter immediately turns the engine over. Whilst it's not really flying season I should really get on with investigating the cause instead of being lazy. Pat from Torquay had a similar problem with his 190 light that I believe is belt driven. Pat did find a broken spring in the gearbox which apparently is very common on that engine. J.

I would say that you have a problem with the clutch not the flash starter. It seems to me that now and then the clutch is engaging hence why the piston is moving up and down whilst pulling the flash starter. Have a similar problem with my polini 200. Jon.
