It won't start and there is no smell of gas when I pull plugs. The plugs have spark.
Fuel pressure is 40 psi dropping to 36 when the fuel pump switches off. Fuel gets at least that far. We tried swapping out the ECU - no change.

Any suggestions?

I followed up on everything I could while on vacation. Vacation ended with the motor still dead so I took it to a local shop, where of course it started instantly. But not every time. Intermittent failures are a pain.

Yes I have a deposit on a 200XS. I've been kicking tires on that engine since the Gen 1 came out. Now or never to get a new one in a crate so I took the plunge. It's just retirement money, so it wasn't being used.

New 200XS on SS2000. New 150HO on one year old J Craft. I have doubled down on 2 strokes at what may be the end of the line.

I had the short lived bad idea of selling the Promax as is, ie not running, but I will get it fixed before I sell it.

The stator and switch box were replaced and it runs like a champ.
