Hi
*I have just bought a DLA 32 engine.
I only flown glow engine for years, and*I am new to the gas engine.*
Anyway, I connected 6.6v LiFe battery to the ignition system and connected the engine sensor plug and spark plug.
When I spin the shaft, I don't see any spark from the spark plug. I tried another spark plug(c6) and also gave stable ground to the plug. *
Am I missing something here ?
Thanks.
Jake

Depending on the year of the Ign. The older ign took a max of 4.8 volts any more than that as a rule rendered the ign useless.
Read your instructions that came with the engine to determine what the correct voltage is for your Ign.

I have this DLA ignition and LiFe 2S 6.6V.
Can please tell me how to connect these wires ?
I connected top wire(futaba male) to the haul sensor.
Then connected red plug to the battery.
I didn't connect the middle one.
Then, I turned the craftshaft and I don't see any spark at the spark plug.
Can please any one help ?
Thanks

Access the sensor leads from the ignition and with ignition on, short the white wire to the black wire momentarily. Should get a spark. If not generally the ignition unit is defective, assuming good battery supply. If you get a spark, hall sensor is defective, or sensor to magnet gap is too great. Good luck, red
