That was me! Nope, never got it started. Never even got it to ignite on the propane. Tried different Powermax bottles, checked the gas valve to make sure gas was coming out, put in three different glow plugs, tried running air through the gas line to the engine and could hear it hissing in the engine, and tried a different ECU. Never got a pop. I have no idea what's wrong with it. It was a real bummer since I worked on it the entire week before fixing it from a gear up landing at San Jose. I really wanted to fly it at Prado. Oh well! I feel bad for Yale who loaned me the engine. He only had three or four bench runs on it before this.

Daniel, just let me know when you're ready and I'll be happy to help.
