Copy the current working A MAP to B.
Test that she = runs ok on=20 B
Take off & climb to 5000ft or so
Select mode 1/computer = A
start=20 at medium rpm, adjust mixture, match setting on program know,=20 push
store.
increase rpm by 100 & = repeat
=20 repeat
go back to at medium rpm, then proceed downwards by 100 rpm at = a time=20 as
above
