Glad I am not the only one with rotary starting problems.
I have a 13B with Tracy's EFI system. I can get it to run after about 3
months of off and on trying.
Will only run with the cold start switch on and is still rough.

What else have you checked Hank? What shape are your injectors in.
sounds like one or more injectors are plugged. What is your fuel pressure?
As I recall some auto parts stores will check injectors for free.
Worth asking around as it is somewhat of a pain setting them up on
a bench and testing them. Anybody have a bench tester for injectors.
It is easy to do if you know a bit about electronics and can wire something
up.
Here is a driver circuit.
You could pulse this chip with something as simple as a push button.
A pulse generator made from a 555 and a few resistors and caps would also work
as a pulse generator. If you don't mind spending a bit of money you could buy
a function generator that would test the injector over a wide range
of pulse widths and RPM's.
I am sure Tracy can handle this. You could send them to Tracy to test :-)
Sorry Tracy :-)
