Well, after a couple of hours of wire testing (buzz
testing etc) I was finally able to track down my sparkless problem.
Seems that when I first started my wiring I was short some of my expensive
aviation crimp connections and I used lower quality butt connectors. Well,
one of the cheap ones did not hold the wire in and the two white/white&black
CAS wires came out, thus no spark. I have used very few of these
cheaper connectors and have replaced most of the few I have used........hadn't
made it to these yet. Just one more thing I am happy to discover on the
ground.
Since I knew little if anything about wiring 6
months ago and now I feel pretty confortable, I am amazed at how different the
quality is on the cheaper and the the better conectors. I now even know
what to look for and have found some much better quality ones at local hardware
stores....even though the ones on the plane all came from aviation specific
vendors.
The engine still starts inconsistantly....one time
easy, then not starting at all until I hold my tounge juuuuust right, or so it
seems. It also seems to still be running rich. Which is not
suprising since I have not done anything to it since it was not running.
Now that it is running again though, I can start to actually TUNE
the beast.
Thanks for y'all's continued support, insight and
wisedom.
All the best,
Chris
