Jazzcat has a pair of Beta 20 engines. Last year, they both wanted a few seconds of heat, then they'd start immediately with throttles at idle. The starboard one wanted a few seconds more heat than the port. After a winter ashore, the port engine started and ran fine, but the starboard one needs lots of throttle and a fair bit of churning to get it going from cold. Once running, it idles and runs perfectly with, as far as I can tell, the same power as the other one.
Is this likely to be a faulty heater plug or plugs? How do I test them?
Thanks in advance.
