Okay I've done some searching and cannot find anything pertinent; I've got a new DA-60 and it appears that the ignition module isn't happy. On my ZDZ's one can just put a sparkplug in the wire cap, hold it against the engine and rotate the prop, you'll get a spark.

IIRC, the DA ignition module requires that the prop be flipped faster or something? Using the same technique yeilds no spark. Using a small screwdriver in the cap held near the engine doesn't produce any spark either. I did get a small "tickle" when I got ahold of the uninsulated cap and the screwdriver but certainly nothing like a real spark.

Now as much as I like DA engines, they do have a bit of a reputation for faulty ignition modules so I'm guessing that is the problem but if anyone's got a method of testing the beasty to make sure, I'd appreciate some input.

Thanks guys....
