Are you saying ... with a separate ignition circuit, the ignition can be turned on at a later but higher starting rpm? Are you also saying this would allow the crank to have more inertia so that the impulse circuit is not so likely to induce a kick back? If this is true ... what happens if, because of low starting rpm, there is not enough inertia to produce the desired point to switch on the ignition. I don't see how a separate ignition switch would produce a different result. Consider the case of low starting rpm caused from a low battery, or bad connections, or cold soaked, or for whatever reason. It seems, at times, the kick back threat would exist even with a separate ignition switch. What am I missing? Isn't electronic ignition designed to produce a spark later ... at or closer to TDC of the piston, and automatically senses when spark should be introduced for starting? RPM, SPARK, FUEL has been a way of life with the jet engines but for different reasons. How do only two hands CRANK, IGNITE, PRIME without a flight engineer or copilot? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks in advance ...
