New 912uls will not start

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 8 years ago
I have a new 912uls made in 2015. It has 45 hours on it. Went flying yesterday and started fine. Pulled out the airplane this morning and will not start. Engine is getting fuel. I've seen other posts about problem modules but I'm hoping this can't happen this soon in the life of the engine. I'm new to these engines so any advice would be appreciated.

    Is the engine turning over? It is possible your battery is going. Don't say no until you rule this out with either a new battery or jumping the old one. Then move on. Don't discount anything. Seems too new to have a module failure and that means both would have had to have died at the same time. After the battery check start tracing out wires. There is a good possibility you have a poor connection.

    Roger,

    Thanks, I'll start going over the installation and get a new battery.

    Hi Craig,

    I wouldn't get a new battery until I jumped the old one to rule it in or out.

    Do me a favor and take precautions and don't get run over! :unsure:
