Fitted new radiator hose last week and ran engine to test for leaks.
Went back yesterday and will not start. I had fitted a soft start module. After failing to start I removed the module and tried on the standard start with the key start mag switch. Still no start. Checked plug for spark no spark?? Checked earths seem ok.
Any body any ideas?

Usually it’s the failure of the spark boost in the second ECU, I had to send mine back to Carmo electronics in the Netherlands, €550 to repair both ECU’s so the spark is restored at cranking RPM | Quote: | On 5 Jul 2020, at 11:40, david park <dpark748(at)hotmail.co.uk (dpark748(at)hotmail.co.uk)> wrote:

Hi Dave
If it's the ignition module then you can usually "wake it up" by heating it with a hair dryer/hot air gun (gently!!). Once it starts it should run fine as the engine heats the ignition modules.
The Carmo repairs seem to fail after a while and are relatively expensive. There is a guy called Andy Buchan who is a UK instructor who is supplying new (non-rotax) modules at £300 per pair. They also have a long lead so you can mount them away from the engine, say on the firewall, away from the vibration and a bit less heat.
They have apparently been "road tested" on various aircraft and seem to work well. May be worth a try.
Kind Regards
Steve Ivell
