That's interesting.  I had not made any changes to mode 8, but it is 
certainly easy enough to reset it to default.

My EC2's do not produce consistent or strong sparks at RPM's  less than about 1200 if the EC2 timing is advanced using mode 8.  The greater the advance, the weaker the spark.  Occasionally there will be a strong spark, but the timing on these is very retarded.  With my EC2's, the most consistent low RPM sparks are obtained at the most retarded mode 8 setting, but the EC2 must be receiving CAS signals (engine running) in order to make this change.
