Today my unit let me down for the first time ever...dangerously.

About 15 minutes into a scooter dive, my HUD flashed an amber when it should've been green. I stopped the scooter, and removed my hood to listen to the solenoid.....silence....and then the odd very short pshhht, much less than its 1.5 sec firing setting...and then normal....and then silence again, not maintaining SP. Manually flew home, prematurely thumbing the dive.

Battery fine, backlight works, seems like a logic or some other fault preventing the firing from happening. The initialization sequence (when switching on) also no longer works.

I'm emmigrating to Europe in about 3 weeks. Anyone near (like within 2000 km) to Den Haag able to find the fault, and upgrade the existing 2.01j system to 2.06?
Hmmm, sounds like the solenoid... question tho, is it mechanical or electrical...?

have you rebuilt the solenoid to eliminate corrosion/stuck as a cause?

Please keep us informed... always curious...
