Daytona Sensors starter issues
 

Having trouble with starter kick back,etc. I believe my ignition boxes are causing part or most of my problem with timing regard feature? Any thoughts.

Retarding timing helps the engine crank over easier.

Are you running a custom timing map in your boxes?

+ how long have you had this system up and running , or new install ?

Is this a new install? Did you modify your rotor or get the correctly phased rotor?

I`m having the same issue, I retarded the timing at start up 10* and 7 revolutions before spark ...and I`ve had to have one starter gear replaced cause it wants to turn backwards/hickups.. not sure why. I have IMI High TQ starters . .. now even the new one is chipped again on one tooth.

I built new 582ci /na motors with the Daytona cd1 marine system. I don't understand the rotor issue. The motors run perfectly except all the starter issues. I've wrecked ring gears,starters,etc. Ready to kill myself. Never had problems like this. First is was my la firing order then, I figured alignment issues because of dart block or called crank forge. I've shimmed,etc. Msd dynaforce starters trashed. It works perfectly without spark and then starting nothing but grinding, banging. I start one with kill switch off etc, can't hear the other. I even machined the flywheel thinking it was too far away. Tried everything thinking it's gotta be timing issue from the ignition system. I'm so frustrated. I don't normally

I'm running the na motor timing curve 34 deg all in.no.7 code I believe

I've been running since last summer

Make sure you read up on the rotor phasing and set it.
