Unison's SlickStart magneto start-booster has received a German supplementary type-certificate. The Jacksonville, Florida-based company claims that SlickStart boosts spark energy by 340%, reducing electrical-system load and increasing life. It also allows partially fouled plugs to fire and to ignite less-than-optimum fuel mixtures and eases hot- and cold-starting considerably. SlickStart takes 1h to install and can be used with 12V or 24V electrical systems.
