>haven't heard from John, have we

 

No, but Tracy & Ed have. I spoke to them both at length today trying to

figure out why my engine won't start. Difficult for them to contribute from

long distance, but I got some good ideas and things to try. Thanks guys.

 

Good news is that I spent most of the past 2 days getting some Cozy time

with Paul Conner in Dan Crugers Cozy IV. So, once I can get mine running

right, I should be able to fly it without hurting myself. We did one high

speed taxi test in mine, but aborted just before lift off.

 

Bottom line with my engine seems to be that, unlike me, its VERY VERY rich.

You can't use mode 3 with the engine off, and it won't start. :(

 

Any ideas?

Wild guesses?

 

Ah-h-h; turn off the ‘cold start’ switch?  Seriously; you might want to check that circuit to see if somehow it is always on.  If you wired in the injector disable switches, check that circuit, because turning off either set doubles the pulse width to the others.  Make sure that circuit isn’t always closed.
