Kim,

on he one NIB at400 i bought in the days of Jim, i called my CC company and canceled the charges ...



Kevin, that’s a good point .. If the engine did indeed run on a bench at the factory, the only difference here could be that my ECU and/or fuel pump are to blame ... however this also at the same time does not make sense ..... the pump and ECU had worked fine for a while now, and actually have been in to the factory a few times with the prior seizures .. A bad pump/ECU will not make an engine blow bearings ... as it is , at400 had issues which were supposedly a combination of out of spec bearings and improperly drilled cooling / oilier holes in the shaft tunnel ... the last time my engine quit, there was a noticeable clanking in the engine after it un-jammed. This time, the engine spun freely, but it did quit, and the symptoms of going to idle were new to me .. when it quit in the air, it was at least at 1/3 throttle , and this was not an issue of it spooling down to idle erratically and quitting .. in this case, i would think it was more the engine over the ECU/Pump ...

bottom line, it still does not work []
