Burck,

   Have you had any response to your post about needing  one Tracy Crook's

first products the dual ignition controller? I have one new never been used

that I have kept thinking I might use it sometime (packrat syndrome). I of

course also have his EC2 and will not go back to carburetors.

  I would rather it help someone get into the air safely. I also have several of

the 13B ignition sensors used by Tracy's controller if you need one.

 

Best Regards,

Kelly Troyer
