Called John to see if I could help.  What a saga!    Lots of indications that it is clogged fuel system somewhere but also some symptoms that occurred simultaneously that make no sense at all (like a double rpm indication).   John says compression is good/normal in spite of two fuel stops with no oil added to gas (forgot).  Engine was running normal at shutdown after emergency landing but now won't start.  Unfortunately John has none of the EC2 upgrades including ignition & injector diagnostics and has not tried checking for spark while cranking since that is a 2 man job.   I forgot to ask if he had tried the backup on EC2 controller but I assume he did.

Guys, I just got a call from John Slade. He had to do an emergency landing in Graystone 17FL (Ocala) FL. His engine will not start again, and he needs someone with rotary experience to talk to. His cel # is 860-271-3941. Please give him a call if you can help in any way.
