Chime in here whenever you wish, Ed.
What I'm referring to is at the last RWS fly-in Ed went to start his engine in the morning and pressed the Store (primer) button and didn't see that the EC-2 was in mode 9. He had the fuel pump(s) on and when he hit the Store button it went into injector simulation mode which caused the engine to flood and fuel to pour out the exhaust. When something like that happens, one spark and you've got a very bad situation. Always have a fire extinguisher (or two) nearby.

Be sure to do it outdoors and have a fire extinguisher handy. The EFI can dump a load of fuel out the exhaust before you realize it (Right, ED?). You can't be too careful. Good luck.

One of my 'good practice' recommendations:
The last thing you do before hitting the "Start" button is turn on the EFI fuel pump.
The first thing you do when shutting down is turn off the fuel pump.
