The TWM throttlebody, however has two male fittings to which the
hose could be connected. They are both in the same area, so it shouldn't
matter which one I connect to. The question is.....Should I plug the one
that I am not using?
You can use either, but
you can also use both. Back when I was having all my problems getting
rev-1 to run, Tracy mentioned that there was a slight advantage to connecting
both tubes together, and then to the computer. There's a strong
pulse as the intake of each rotor occurs, and having the computer connected to
both rotors at the same time allows it to see pulses from both. This has
the effect of doubling the frequency, and more or less averaging out the vacuum
signal. I never saw any improvement from trying that, and in my current
version, I use two separate lines. One goes to the A controller
and fuel regulator, and the other line goes to the B controller.
Do you just turn the pumps off for a few seconds and then turn off the
ignition, or just turn off the pumps and let the engine die from fuel
exhaustion, similar to pulling the mixture lever to shut down a
Lycoming?
As others have mentioned, just shut off
the pump and let the engine die. It will be surprisingly quickly.
FWIW, I got my couple drops of fuel after shutting down with the EC-2 power
switch yesterday, so I guess I'll have to try to remember to use the pump
switch, or injector disable switches.
Cheers,
Rusty
