I'm pretty sure I got it stopped by killing the fuel pump also, but I

was madly turning off every switch I could get my hands on.  Probably

the quickest would have been to pop the circuit breaker on the EC2 but

that would have required too much thinking time.

 

Turning off the EC2 doesn’t necessarily stop the engine.  At least on the earlier versions there is a sneak circuit which powers the EC2 if the injector power is on.

I guess pulling the throttle back wasn’t the first thing to come to mind?:)

 

Congrats on getting the engine running.  That’s an exciting milestone – on of the biggest next to first flight.  Now it will take some patience to get everything tuned and calibrated.  Best of luck going forward.
