Hi Chris,

 

Yes done that mod too. I thought that this was the fix for a while.

Or you can go to Supercheap and buy a 1m (or so battery cable). Hook it to the battery +ve, run it down the firewall (secured with cable ties here and there) and out the bottom. Hold it with a P-clip bolted into the cockpit floor.

 

To boost the plane on a cold morning put the +ve jumper on the cable end and the other one on an exhaust pipe. No need to remove cowls or any of that. Worked for me .....

What my mate has done with his is put a small bolt through just behind the cowl (on the non removable part) it links to the positive, I have not seen underneath, but the cable would be very short.

He uses that to boost battery power occasionally, but still need to put a heat gun up its bum to get it warm enough to start, when its a cold morning.

 

My 2200 seems ok so far, his is a 3300...
