Hardtop there is an issue with the EI circuit. With everything hooked up ready to run, listen very closely to the EI box and you will hear it arc inside. Sounds like snap of spark at plug but inside the EI box. Yet when you plull the plug out it will spark normally at the plg and not inside the EI box.

Drove me crazy until I substituted an EI I had bought for my Ryobi conversion and still couldn't get it to run untill I turned up the idle quite a bit. It started on the 2nd flip and now starts every time on 1st or second flip.

Now have over 3 hours on the engine and ready to transfer to my Laser 200. I will now change from the 32:1 Penz for break in to 40:1 Motul or BelRay synthetic.

Just about ready to do RPM test with different props and then do maiden flight in the Laser next week end.
