It is a great shame that the original ESA cannot be retained on the Comet when an electric starter kit is fitted, despite all the flack that the original ESA is receiving, I am sure on a standard Comet it is more than adequate. I do wonder if the culprit in the first instance are the ESA springs, and whether they are of the same quality of those that were originally fitted by the works, same goes for the C45, how is the standard and quality of an aftermarket spring checked?
