Actually, Rusty, you may
not have quite the problem I had on cold morning starts. Since I'm "plugs
up" the intake port is on the bottom of the engine, with your "normal"
orientation any fuel should run down the intake and into the chamber, so the
lack of good vaporization on cold mornings probably wont' be as nearly as
bad. There! feel better now?
Thanks, but not really. In my
case (and Paul Conner's), the fuel has to go up a 45 degree incline for
about 6 inches, then horz for about a 12 inches, then it gets to
proceed downhill.
Lycomings have that ridiculous
uphill fuel system, and mine was impossible to start on really
cold days, until I added a primer. The only way I could start it was to
heat up the carb and runners to get some
atomization.
I do have some concerns about having the injectors so
far away, but I hadn't actually thought of the cold start problems. If the
current system works well, except for cold starts, I may install some sort
of primer in the stock primary injector holes. If I have other
problems with having all 4 injectors on the cold side of the engine, I'll see
about putting the primaries back in their normal location. This could make
for an interesting fuel rail.
Rusty (only two more exhaust bends to
fit)
