Rusty mentioned that in using the open loop
system that the
quantities of how much fuel to inject are stored in a look
up table and it is
possible to change these values to "tweak" or "tune" the
system. How is
this done?
Hi
Joe,
The EC-2 comes with a
couple different pre-set defaults for the table, but they're just meant to get
you running on your initial starts. The process to tune the EC-2
requires a manifold pressure gauge, and ideally a mixture readout of some
sort. You tie the airplane down, and adjust the throttle in small
increments of manifold pressure. For each MAP setting, you adjust the
mixture for the desired air fuel ratio, and save it to the
table. Once you go through all the settings, you've made your
own look-up table, specific to your individual engine
installation. It usually takes a bit more fiddling (at least for me), but
that's the procedure.
Rusty (now if you could
just save the cals when you were finished...)
