I adjusted the VE tables, and my engine started and ran MUCH smoother than yesterday.  This graph shows the result of several starts this evening.  It is just a couple of blades and the engine is off to the races.  Problem is that the AFR drops to as low as 10, then jumps all over the place.  Looking at the tuning parameters, my cranking pulsewidth for the injectors is WAY to high, and then I have no after start enrichment.

I would update those and go run some more, but I've developed an oil leak on the propeller side of my PSRU, and I think my blower has come apart.  I've got to tear down the front of the engine and figure out what's going on.  I might also have a leak between the bed-type mount plate and engine.  I'm not even wanting to think about that one right now.

...building and airplane  => put it together.  Pull it apart.  Put it together.   Pull it apart......
