Rented a C172SP (Made in 1999) on 04/10/04 and was told to start the engine
with the battery side of the master switch only on, then turn on the
alternator side after the engine was running. I was told that this was a
new recommendation for all C172SP's. Can someone tell me where to find the
text of this recommendation?

It was included in a service bulletin from Cessna regarding some
faulty ACU's in (insert large number of serial numbers here).
SB04-24-01A, Mar 1 04. The temporary start procedure (alternator side
of master off) to be removed from POH once the replacement unit is
installed.
