If you are just trying to get the engine to light, use a freshly charged nistarter on the plug instead of the plug boot. I started my AMT280SP this way as it did not have an onboard glow from the ECU. I think though that I made my own 2V (2.4) ni starter with a couple rechargable C cell batteries as anything less than a fresh charge on a regualr ni starter wouldn't light it.
Good idea except that the ECU registers an error when the plug doesn't get positive contact. This is the semi auto start ECU. Just put air to it and it starts automatically.
