Chris, what is the latest scoop on the stuck
apex seals? Did they free up?
I currently have every thing (cowl,
inspections plates, etc.) opened up so I can’t investigate this further
right now, but the last time I taxied my plane, I noticed that it was really
lean at idle (took mixture knob to 4 pm) and when I ran it up, I could only get
a little over 6K (previous would go to 6900!) rpm and the mixture knob full
rich would not bring the mixture bar graph visible. I am pretty certain
that my MAP table is corrupted. This is the first time this has happened
to me.
I am pretty certain that it was the time
before that I switched the CPU from “A” to “B” and
tested my coils. This was the first time I had done this. I normally
just run it in “A” and am trying to get the tuning in so I can copy
that to “B”.
Also, when I test the injectors…I have
only done this at idle, if I disable the secondary, it stumbles, but keeps
running. When I disable the primary, it would die if I didn’t immediately
switch it back. Sounds like the cold start might not be engaging on the
primary??? Does anybody have any suggestions?
Those of you who have had your MAP table
corrupted, was a switch between CPUs and or coil testing involved prior to the
problem? Could there be some involvement here???
