Default BME50 - can't get quite right

From what I understand about the faulty ignition is that the syncro chip inside became heat sensative. Most will tolerate 180 degrees but some defective ones including our own would run fine if the plane was in the shade but if allowed to sit in the sun it would not fire. This was on a 95 degree day. Some will run a while and then reach shutdown temperature. Bill at C&H is working very hard to change out the defective timing chips.
