Thank you for your thoughts. Engine has 68 hours.
It is a bit frustrating as we are not sure what the fault is. Checked all the connections to the ECU, disconnected, measured and connected again. The engine started again this morning, so it is not really clear what caused the issue. Engine has been to Shempp-Hirth because it did not start last season due to electric fault. Working for now. Thanks to tthe pilots who responded. And to Andrew Maddocks and Steve Hobby. Grietje > On 14 Dec 2017, at 05:53, Mike Borgelt <[email protected]> > wrote: > > How many hours on the engine?
