Hi All, I'm new to the message board but have gleaned some good advice from watching the posts, thanks for all that you contribute. This is my first post. I have a new volo in the family, a '92, 244. Engine has been running perfectly since we bought it in March. Drove it the other day, turned it off and went into a store. Came back 10 minutes later while the engine was still ho, and it would only crank - no spark. Swapped out the coil with one from our '89, still no spark. Tried it hot and cold with the same results. Then one day, heard a click in what I thought was the aluminum covered relay that is mounted near the coil under the hood. Taped it with my screwdriver, started right up, only to die on me 5 minutes later when I took it out for a spin. I've seen some posts for 740's about this being a problem with a crank sensor...do you think that is my issue or are there relays that go first? Any advice would be appreciated. Bernie
