With regard to the reported sticking on of the Goshawk electric starter switch, Mr. Royce would like you to send one of these switches to WW. for inspection. Also he remarks that if this unit has the clear-ances and the 14 to 22 lb. spring as shewn on LeC. 1517., he cannot understand why it sticks. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
