Bob,
Finally got around to figuring
out why no EGT. Tried grounding one line. Nothing. Took
apart the connecting where the EGT ends and connects to your wires. EGT
wires (from ACS) are red and black. Yours are yellow and red. I
had hooked the red to red and black to yellow. Seemed to make
sense. Wrong. It's the other way around.
Monty, Yes, pumps in
the tank is the way to go. I considered it, but with all that I had
to do, and they were working on the firewall for so many others, I went
that way. I had a chance to play with things today. At
low RPMs I ran it and played with it, using the AutoOpen page to get
my info. and tuned from there. At least up to 16 inches.
No stumbling and no pump problems. I shut down when oil and H20
got to 210. Let sit for a few minuets and tried the
pumps. Both cavitated. Opened the oil door to let
heat out for 10 mins, and the lower pump started pumping a little and then
the upper pump started working. Heated it up again. Shut down and the same situation. I
think??? things just get heat soaked once there is no air flowing. Am
thinking about going to a junk yard, getting a selection of solenoids, spring
loading the oil door open and putting a switch on the panel to pop this door
open on shut down or during taxi back to the hanger. Massive amounts of
heat flowing out. The screws that go through the fire wall, especially the
upper part are very hot. I see why Tracy puts silver insulation on the
front of the fire wall. I think that the problem is heat during shut down
and not heat during running, but that is only a preliminary guess. Will
call Tracy in the AM to find out how I can get the real time mixture to stay
displayed.
For all of you that have
successfully tuned your engine and are flying, did you do all or most of your
mixture tuning in mode 1. I may be making this too hard. When it
stumbled after staging, I went to mode 6 and got it to run OK at 20inches but
not other setting. Should I have stayed in mode 1 to do the mixture
setting? How does is work exactly. I assumed that the EC -2
keeps feeding more and more fuel to the primaries and then the secondary kick in
and I have to tune them on mode 6. Will mode 1 do this all. Is this
how the injectors and the EC-2 work?
