Good, Mike
Hope it’s as simple as swapping CS
controller plugs. Certainly could be an ignition timing problem.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Initial
Engine (not) starting with EC2 - suggestions appreciated!
Thanks to all who weighed in so far. Especially that one about
"Replace the GEO with a Rotary" ;-), why did that not surprise
me.
Based on your comments, I pulled out my GEO manual (I have it and the EC2
manuals with me
daily on my bus ride to/from work). Looking at the diagrams on the Crank
Position Sensor I think I may have located an issue. That theme of 'ignition'
& 'timing' was the key.
My EC2 is 'special' :) . It has wiring for two CPS, one for each
controller A & B. I think I may have plugged A into B, and visa
versa. The soonest I can try again will be Tuesday night. I will post a status
on Wednesday.
My system is the Z-19 RB (rear battery). It follows Bob's diagram pretty much
as described, except for the areas of the EC2, coil, injector, and fuel pumps 1
& 2. His diagram sort of leaves that portion up to the implementer. Mine
has dual power feeds for each of those components, with a switch for each fuel
pump (via relays), and the EC2/Coil/Injector turning ON/OFF together via a set of
redundant switches (two switches, each switch has on/off control for three
circuits). The EC2 is wired simply on/off, while the coils and injector power
are switched on/off through independent relays.
My diagrams are all drawn on paper, so I'm not able to upload at this time.
Thanks again, I'll post my results on Wednesday.
