Rusty,
 
    Engine should not die on primary injectors at low power, should continue to run.  Turning off the primary injectors at low power should cause the secondaries to turn on.  Now, my personal experience is that a low power <2500 rpm, the secondaries appear to need some initial enrichment (I think because the secondary pipes on mine contain more air volume) or else the engine may stumble and die.  But, the engine should continue to run at low rpm with either primary or secondary turned off.  May need some additional enrichment at the low rpm.  Do you have an Air/Fuel sensor/indicator hooked up?

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
