These engines are
notoriously hard to start . . <<

Surely you are not serious?

In 40 years and well over 10,000 hours of TCM engine operation,  I have never failed to get a TCM engine to start.  Not once.


. . . but no mechanical system can ever match a computer-controlled
closed-loop system that individually adjusts the mixture to every
cylinder on every power stroke.<<

I think you would be surprised to find that data reflects the cylinder to cylinder F/A ratio uniformity of the mechanical systems is every bit as good as the computer controlled systems.

The truly significant advantage of the pulse modulated port fuel injection systems is that the engine runs better during the critical long duration portion of the aircraft operating cycle known as "taxi".
