.  When I checked for power at the resistors (as our set up uses them), the primaries did show power but the secondaries did not.

 

Chris;

 

I’m not sure exactly what you were doing, but it would be normal for the secondary to not be powered when the injectors are staged.

 

It’s WAY too soon for you too get discouraged, and I’d suggest that patience would be the better part of valor.  I know it’s exciting to have your engine running.  Now forget about it until you get your EM2 fully functional so you can have a better idea of what’s going on, other than just whether it is running or not running.  And get a prop on there so you can get some load on the engine.  Mixture may be too rich/lean, plugs may get fouled from running no load; whatever.

 

(Oops; I guess that sounds like preaching). Oh well.

 

FWIW,

 

All the best,

 

Al
