It is not good to look too foolish in front of the children...:-) After a day and a half of swapping injectors and tracing and testing wires to the EC2, I found two problems. The first was miss-labeling the injector cutout switches. (the primary was labeled secondary, etc.) This lead me to think that, as the engine ran smoothly on the with the Primary switch closed, there was a problem with the primary injectors.. Oh, me! This discovery lead me to finally inspect the secondary injectors where I discovered a broken clip wire at the number 2 rotor, secondary injector. Duh? My inj. clips were rescued from junk harnesses and the wire seems to be brittle (?) Thats why I'd like to find a source for the clips alone on the stock '89, six port injectors. Repaired the wire and the engine runs fine. I will next be with the plane around the 23rd of Sept to continue the cooling saga. Thanks for the concern sunny boy..:-) Tommy<>< You ain't seen nothing yet, young fella! Tommy<>< I knew I could draw out the really old guys :-) I've been curious to know if you made any headway with your latest injector problems?
