Re: Leburg ignition switch

Any on/ off switch would suffice (reasonable quality) You have outputs from the modules that feed the tacho. I put in a small 3 way switch
to read each ignition ie middle off left or right as required.

Re: Why do so many VP-1's fall into disuse?

Thats really good to hear Michael. VW or Jabiru VW lots of people with knowledge on these engines. Spares available all over and of course with Leburg fabulous. Very impressed with the Jabiru. A lot lighter than the VW with starter and a bit more power. Menestrel is spoiling me, warm and comfortable.

Flew a D9 open cockpit last year and had everything on. Only just fitted Speed was not brilliant so took a while to get an...
