also. JohnD

This afternoon I had one off my flying friends over and we pulled the
plane out of the garage and tried a first start. I thought the Weber
would be a no brainer, so after checking for spark, I turned on the fuel and
the low pressure pumps. No fuel at the Weber and the low pressure gauge
is not functioning, I found later as I tried the pumps and the fuel flowed
into the Weber, as the needle valve didn't hold this time. Tomorrow
I'll check the fuel pressure with a manual gauge and order up the higher
pressure needle valve that Lynn mentioned, if he gives me a heads up as where
to find one. Next I turned on the high pressure pump, flipped up the
cold start switch and the engine started, it will run with the cold start
switch on, but on checking we found that only one injector is working.
The injectors where ones I got from Bruce T. which were rebuilt, so maybe I
need to get a new set, as it is a real project to get to the primary's under
the over the top intake manifold. Lots of things to check out
tomorrow. One thing, it didn't make that nasty noise running on one
injector and exhausting through the Hushpower II muffler, but it did sound
real good running for the first time.
