Honda 420 FM - gears flashing

Recommended Posts

Just bought a Honda 420 FM 2012 

took it for a drive and it’s cut out 

gears are flashing  - - , it’s lost spark and fuel pump doesn’t engage when trying to start it 

it had a new ECU before I bought it 

any ideas please?

Welcome aboard.  You won't get spark/won't run if there isn't a gear showing on the display.

 

Is the blinking -- flashing a particular patter?  Try counting the blinks/pauses.

Doesn't appear to be a pattern there. 

 

Go to the service manuals link at the top of the page, and download the factory service manual.  Page 6-6 has the troubleshooting info, looks like it points to a bad connection to the ECU, which you say was just replaced.

 

I'd start by unplugging and replugging in the computer a few times, to see if you might just have a poor connection on one of the pins. 

 

Check the wiring back there for rodent damage as well.
