I've got a turbo 20B which I have rebuilt twice now.  I've sorted out
wiring issues, had Tracy's EC repaired, checked the timing, checked
for fuel and spark; repeatedly.
The engine was, possibly among other things, flooded.
Today I even tried engine starter fluid.    I cannot get the engine to
even cough or sputter as if i's even trying to start.

Is there anyone within a reasonable driving distance of Canton, GA, an
hour north of ATL.  With Rotary and preferably Tracy EC experience as
well that might consider
giving me a visit for some assistance getting this thing started?  I'd
be happy to pay your travel expenses.  Ive exchanged numerous emails
with Tracy, this newsletter and Mr. Anderson to no avail.
I am at my wits end.

Ed Anderson might fly in from NC.

Flooding is unlikely for a 20B.
Is the compression now good?
I assume the spark timing has been checked.
Do the injectors squirt?
Do you have a manifold pressure gage on there?
Can you borrow an oscilloscope from some body.


There is also a free program that uses the audio microphone jack
on all PC's as an input to a software O-scope.
Use that to check the CAS. It works great on my Linux machine.

I do recall reading your emails on this subject.

Send a picture of the intake manifold and injector locations.
Apply 18 volts to the starter. Three 6 volt batteries in series.
Don't let it crank for more than 15 seconds at a time. You
could over heat the starter.

If all else fails I fly UAL (retired A&P wife) for a modest cost if
you could
meet me at ATL and provide room and board for a couple of days. Or I
could rent
a car. The wife would want to come along :)
