Does anyone know if the engine will turn over with digital ignitor unit removed.

Still cant get engine to turn over.
Need to rule out duff ignitor.

The inter lock system is ok, start button ok, main relay and starter etc.
Engine does turn over using starter relay

D

all the engine needs to "turn over" is connection from battery +ve to starter relay, starter button correctly connected to starter relay (or you manually bypass the connections with a screwdriver), wire from starter relay to starter, and wire from engine block to -ve terminal on battery, that will be enough to turn the engine over, the ignitor is needed to fire the spark plugs - amongst other things.

All interlocks work as does start button and ignition switch.
Main relay ok
Fuel pump ok
Neutral switch ok
Battery new and charged

No oil in engine?
Tank not on/connected
