Afternoon Kim!

I have worked on my engine running and starting issues. I have switched radios to Jeti, and a new ECU, pump, valve and starter motor. I definitely think it is a signal issue. I noticed here at home setting it up again, that when Resetting engine and relearning the radio that my "ms" number was .83 and the book recommends 1.00 ms. My idle was down at 1.04 ms, and the book recommends 1.25 ms. At full power, the recommended value is 2.00 ms. I had to adjust the number in "Travel Adjustment" or "End Point" to get the engine's ms number to where I want it.
I changed mine and just did two starts with no issues. Both starts would make 100% and acceleration is back the way it should be. I changed my throttle setting to "Hard" and seems to be a faster response. I changed my acceleration time from 4 sec down to 3 sec.
I haven't flown it again, but like I said, I just had two successful starts and acceleration. Not sure it you read that after resetting the engine ecu, the first start needs to run at 100% for 10 seconds minimum.
Will keep you posted! Dan
