Hi Dave,
Since you seemed to have checked
everything else – how about the fuel quality – seems that is the
only thing you changed since your last flight., Not certain what you meant by
re-drained it– is it sure nuff 100LL or Autogas? Nothing perhaps
diluting it?
But, other than too much fuel (flooding)
sounds like you have all the essentials for a running engine.

Subject: [FlyRotary] WTF? Just
when I think everything is going perfect...
Yesterday I went flying and tested out my new smoke system...
everything was perfect... somke is fun. Today I head out to go
formation flying.. nothing changed from my flight yesterday except for
adding fuel. But it won't start... I verify that I have fuel
pressure, fuel flow, injector function (in test mode), I have spark (in test
mode). Maybe it is flooded... I change the plugs, re-verify spark in
cranking mode (to eliminate issues with CAS), re-drain the fuel, verify
compression, re-verify fuel pressure and flow and injector funcion... but still
it just turns over without starting... Sigh
Anyone one know of a new component necessary other than fuel, spark, and
compression?
