Ok Folks,

Tracy did it!!!  I bit the bullet and drove the motor on my old  
pickup down to Tracy's and he got it started in about 40 minutes!   
Now that's after I spent 3 weeks.  What we found was that the  
injector connectors were not seating correctly.  The pins in the  
injectors were not in the clip but along side of it!  Thus sometimes  
I would get good readings or symptoms, then bad readings or not good  
enough to start the engine.

Tracy also found a few more squacks that I'll repair before I try to  
start it again.  I will be soldering the wires on to the injectors so  
no more bad connections.  The new injectors I purchased came with a  
slight difference in the connector, and I though I made it work  
(NOT).  I have too much play in my thrust bearings, and I'll clean up  
some changes in the wiring of the injectors.  The timing of the  
engine seems to be off, So I'll recheck that.  I'd like a exhaust  
pipe support to reduce the vibration of the pipe. Then I should be  
ready to go for more engine runs. I'll be adding my Ivo Prop, instead  
of the club prop, and other things I need to have complete before I  
install it on the plane.

Thanks Tracy
