				One morning I was going to try to start up an Esqual which has the Jabiru 
 3300 in it as well and taxi down to the EAA hangar there at SYI.  I was 
 going to show the plane a little at the monthly EAA fly-in breakfast and 
 then go fly some time off of it afterwards.  It was a bitterly cold morning, 
 in the 20's if I remember right.  I couldn't get it to start.  Later on I 
 told Pete about this and he told me to start it with the choke on, only 
 works when throttle closed.  I tried that and despite a weak battery at this 
 point it fired right up.  I was used to leaving the throttle cracked open to 
 start, but that doesn't work well for the Jabiru.  Live and learn, Brian W.
