I haven't had much of a problem with the electronics... but I've had problems getting my 2-stroke started. I had to put a few drops of glow in the glow plug hole to prime the engine... make sure you use a "Chicken Stick" or electic hand starter, she will kick or re-coil back, it hurts like H&ll if you try to start it by hand. It's best to run the engine a little rich on the high end as well.
