We tested this morning and could not replicate the issue of one of the units stalling. I recommend doing a reset of both units and see if that resolves the issue. The reset procedure is in the manual.

I check the owner's manual for these new E8/E9 and noticed that the reset instructions have changed. If I follow exactly what is now on page 33, the engines are rendered completely unresponsive. If I leave out step 6 (Press and hold the Reset button until the ding) which is a new step, and use the old steps which would require after pressing SET the power be turned off for 10 seconds and then move the switch to Run, the engines are restore to operating conditions. The problems I have with them are still there, but they at least run. So, either I have a real problem with the boards or the new instructions for reset are wrong.
