Re: Shotgun start
Would adding one of these systems help me with cold weather starts in my Maule?

Can't hurt.

Re: Shotgun start
Coffman starter, also seen on "Flight of the Phoenix" and that regrettable "six days and seven nights". Just realized looking at the video that they were unique shells that "resembled" shotgun shells, but were not the Walmart 12 gauge magnum variety. Probably 30% larger, and a "blank" with no pellets, stuffed full of cordite.
'74 7GCBC, 26" ABW, Aera 660 feeding G5 and FC-10 FF.
