No, I am very careful to install my stuff so it stays clear of the muffler and/or stacks. I have noticed that melted electronics seem to let the magic smoke out. In this case, the exhaust stack from the can broke loose but it was strapped to the fuselage so it went exactly nowhere. The only 'problem' was the messy exhaust oils and rich mixture. What I did not report (not being perfect it never occurred to me) is that the windshield wiper activity did get worse as the testing went on. That is why the aircraft was hangared for the balance of the weekend and is on the 'fix it' list.

All connections were checked when the plug cap was checked. I was 'playing' with some pros so just about everything was choreographed to be successful by all of us and cross checked.

Kmeyers, right now I am contemplating pulling the engine and shipping it to C&H versus buying one of those 40 cc kit engines (always investigate all the alternatives, some of them have to be bad!).

Having already talked to him, I would rather stay there as I have several ignitions from C&H and I want them to stay around for a while. I thought the RCXEL ignition is what Bill C. moved to in the final years he was running the operation. Or so I was told when questioning how to use the tester for both types of ignition systems that I already own.

The only problem with a conversion (as I see it) is only the wide gap between the magnet and the Hall sensor. How did you handle that? How did you convert the connection from the sensor to the ignition system?
