But I know how busy he is, so maybe we can create the database. Everybody here once in a while comes against problem that takes (sometimes) weeks to solve. If all that is reported with simptoms and solutions found, maybe next time we can look it up there before calling Tracy? Latest example: After getting my updated EC from Tracy I had hell of a time for couple of months. Engine was hard to start, very rich, fouling plugs. I returned it to Tracy and he found nothing wrong. One day after starting it by using starting fluid, I noticed my MP reading stuck on 29.8. Ahaaa! Started looking and found a MP hose fitting disconnected. The EC was reading full throttle and was dumping fuel accordingly, plus the fuel press. regulator was increasing the FP. If we had a Q&A type list maybe I would have found it much sooner? What do you think? Buly
