    ElectroAir EIS 61000 Start Problem (Dual Electronic Ignition on Lycoming O-540-J3C5D)

    I had an old 64 ford tractor. After drying out the points for the 10th or more times one New England winter I swapped to an electronic ignition module.

    R22 down at KLVJ 10/27/24

    You would think as long as the R-22 has been around, they would have the bugs worked out and would have a stable version. I try not to use much beta ware.
