Dennis,

I have the toggle switches suggested by Bob Nuckolls on the Aeroelectric list.  I have already had electrical failures that I couldn’t find but fixed by replacing most of the components.  I hope I will be able to find this one.

 

By the way on your oil pressure.  My Renesis runs in the 70s and it has never been torn down.  I bought it from a wrecking yard with 1400 miles on it and just installed it in the plane.  The oil pressure is like from the factory.  Are you sure you need to tear yours down??

 

Bill

What type of switch are you using to disable the primary and secondary injectors?  I was using  "rocker" switches and I found they failed to make good contact - failed  "open".  This would turn off the one set of injectors but not tell the computer to double the on time of the other injectors.  I replaced all my switches  rocker switches with "snapping" toggle switches.

 

I want to thank Steven Boese, Bobby Hughes and Mark Steitle for all their help in diagnosing this problem.

 

I never could make the switch fail during ground run testing!

 

Dennis H.
