Thanks Mark,

Something to keep in mind but doubtful.  The battery was freshly charged when I got into this mess, and I verified spark while cranking which means the EC2 was working.  But I will make sure to keep the battery topped off.

Thanks

Dave,
 
What is your battery voltage during cranking?  The EC-2 needs 9v or so to work.  This has bitten me a time or two in the past.  There's enough voltage to turn the starter, but not enough to fire the coils/plugs.  Just a thought.

Yes, and I have been bitten by it  more than once, but in all cases the engine tried to fire somewhat. A plugged exhaust!

Anyone one know of a new component necessary other than fuel, spark, and compression?
