When rotor 1 did fire up, I had to shut the secondary switch off
to keep it running. This means that the injectors are running way too rich and
it appears that rotor 1’s primary is probably the culprit. Will pull the
injectors tomorrow and see if I can determine anything,
Hi
Bernie,
Congrats on the
EW. Van has been a lot more realistic in the later models than he used to
be. It was impossible to make an RV-3, 4, or maybe even a 6 come out to
what he said it should.
As for your engine
troubles, I'm not sure I follow your logic. Unless you're at a fairly high
power setting, turning off the secondary injectors should do nothing. I do
wholeheartedly agree that you need to make sure your injectors are functioning
properly. It's common for them to stick shut, and it might take a couple
minutes of shaking to free it up. You can put 12v on the coil, and listen
for it to click. You can also swap the primary and secondary injectors,
and see if rotor two becomes the problem. If so, you've got it
pegged. If you need some test injectors, I might have some laying
around. Let me know what you're using.
Cheers,
Rusty (mourning the loss
of a Blue Angel aircraft this afternoon- pilot ejected and is OK)
