Rusty,
As I understand it, the injectors are staged. The secondaries only cut in at a certain rpm. So, if you're rpm is below the staging point, and you kill the primaries you have no fuel and engine will quit. Above the staging point the secondaries would be supplying fuel. Just a theory, but it makes sense to me...
Regards,
John

If there is any way you could possibly squeeze me in for a "look-see" I would be eternally grateful. I have a friend here who has a Cozy MkIV and is interested in installing the same setup on his aircraft. If you would consider "show and tell", we'd sure like a peek at it. Thanks, and congratulations on bringing the engine to life. Paul Conner, Mobile, AL (251) 662-1944    sqpilot@earthlink.net 

 

Hi Paul,

 

If someone will confirm that the engine should die when turning off the primary injectors at low power, I’ll be airport bound next weekend.  I thought I’d get a quick answer, and the suspense is killing me.  I’ll end up calling Tracy tomorrow if nobody replies.  If that doesn’t work out, or if you want to come by before the weekend, you’re welcome to come see it at the house as well.  Bring a tach that works :-) 

 

Cheers,

Rusty
