The old engine was hard to start, and was also making a ticking noise when it did start, which didn't used to be there. After several failed attempts, and double checking the connections, I had a neighbor help me do some testing. While the ignition test runs fine, when checking one of the plugs, it sparks when I initially crank the engine, and then stops. Once in a while there will be another spark, but not very often. I reinstalled the original CAS and have the same issue. I have double checked the CAS connections and checked them with an ohm meter to the connector on the EC-2 also. Everything seems to check out, yet I get only that initial spark. I have replaced the spark plugs with new ones, and whenever I pull one to check it, is is wet with fuel, which is no surprise. I am wondering if anyone has seen this type of problem, or if you have any suggestions. Regards, Steve Brooks Cozy MKIV 13B turbo
