Bernie, can you confirm you have  both spark and fuel and it doesn't run? 
Any pops? indication it is trying to run?  Don't have an EM2 so can't help 
you with the 0 and NOP - but sounds like something is not right - but, 
wouldn't think the EM2 problem would preclude it from starting.  Would like 
to see you at Lumberton - going to be lonesome.

Ed A
