I has previously set the
idle stop screw very loose so I could manually close the idle as much as I
wanted. I finally gave up and set the screw at some place that thought
would reliably prevent the engine from quitting when pulling the throttle
all the way back. This was at about 1200 RPM. Low and behold,
the idle at 1200 (against the idle stop) was much better quality that I could
previously
achieve.
Hi
Dave,
My idle
stop is what's keeping me at 1500 now, so that won't work for me. I
might be able to get my A controller to idle down lower, but the B controller
would surely quit, so I'll leave the idle up, until I figure out
what's bugging the B
controller.
I
looked at the EC-2 map with the EM-2 today, and it looked OK as far as I
can tell. The problem is that I get the same data, regardless of
which controller is selected, so I don't think I'm ever seeing the map
for the B controller. If I turn off the EC-2, I get nothing, but if I
turn on the EC-2 with A or B selected, I get the exact same data. Tracy,
can you actually look at the B map this
way?
BTW, I have looked at my
fuel pressure under idle. It goes from 42 with the engine off to about 32
at idle.
From the numbers I posted
earlier, mine is about 42 engine off, 35 at maybe 2000 rpm
on the ground, and 40 in flight at 5100 rpm. It appears the
regulator is doing it's
job.
Rusty, my fuel
pressure regulator came with specific instructions to NOT use just just one of
those ports. Tracy as also mentioned that they should be in T'd to go to
the EC2. That is a definite starting point.
I went through this with
the Rev-A setup, and hooking them together might have made a
difference. I'll try this again, but if it doesn't make a noticeable diff,
I won't leave it that way. I like having each controller get a separate
MAP source.
I spent some time looking at the details of installing
an MSD injector in the block, and it looks doable. The hole in the block
will need a sleeve that's .65" OD, .55" ID, and about 1.25" long. The rail
hole needs to be slightly larger, and I think there would probably be enough
meat on the aluminum rails to bore this out. I'd hate to screw up the one
I'm using now (which I got from Kelly), so does anyone have an aluminum primary
rail they'd sell me?
Thanks,
Rusty (can't seem to leave well enough
alone)
