    I pilled a plug from each head, grounded and cranked - No Spark. Also checked all the DIC's - throught the panel and my own reader and nothing unusual stands out.
    Could loading the HPT's generic 3BAR OS have wonked something in a spark table? I assume that OS is a Blank Sheet of paper and the WHOLE thing need built around it.
    Would it be worth loading a OEM tune from the repository and trying it? Or at least compare them? I honestly don't even know what to look for / at in the table (or which table to look at!)
    It seems like I get intermittent spark because it DID fire - and die - the other day.
    I am pretty confident that my grounds are good & clean.
    Frustration Gauge Pegged!!

    So you have to verify powers and grounds while it has no spark.

    Do not load somebody else's file, that's not diagnosing.

    Do you have service manuals/diagrams?

    Squirrel is the winner!

    It was the F'n Ground wire on the F'n Back of the F'n Head that I checked 3 F'n times!
    Got it to start but it dies - because we kept F'n with the tune thinking THAT was the problem. NOPE - I'm The problem. That sure was fun to tighten with the Blower on.
    I still gotta get the tune right. Is it too early to start drinking?
    I need a new Hobby. End of Rant.
    Thanks for all the help - you guys are fantastic!!
