Check your gearbox set-up, particularly for sufficient friction in the 'dog
clutch'.
When these get too loose, the effect is as you describe.

> Hi All,
> This winter, I have been having difficulty starting when cold, because of
what would appear to be early detonation. The engine fires and stops the
rotation dead. This can happen several times before it starts. I can't
remember having this problem last winter or the one before that. Has any
one else experienced this, because I am sure it can't be doing the engine,
or mount, much good. Otherwise, when running it seems to be functioning
well. Warm starts are without choke are OK. Can the timing slip on a 912?
