Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Can't get engine to fire off! "HELP"
When I tried to start the engine late yesterday on a freshly charged
battery, no fire in hole, tried starting fluid because engine has set for a
week and had to do this at LAL after a week at SNF. Engine will go back to
Bruce probably in July to fiqure out why there is only 75 psi cranking
compression. While cranking, the rpm display on the EM2 was constantly
flashing 0 and NOP! Anyone have a hint what that is trying to tell me??
Hi Bernie,
I had a day when I could not understand why the engine would not start. Later I found out that the batteries were not fully charged, and the starter was pulling the voltage down below 9V. It was cranking OK, but would not fire. Connected the charger and went for lunch. When I came back, it fired right away..
Buly
