Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts...the last couple of days I sent two messages
explaining what happened with my injector problems, but they didn't appear
on the flyrotary site....Trying again.
     It appears that I wired one of my two injectors (in a TWM throttlebody)
to the primary wires coming out of the MicroTech ECU, and the other injector
was wired to the secondary wires from the ECU.   I rewired the injector that
was connected to the secondary circuit, and wired it to the primary circuit.
The engine ran much smoother (I already thought it was smooth before the
change), and at the same throttle setting, had considerably more RPM.
       I don't know the function of the secondary circuit, but I suspect it
is to assist in cold starting and possibly to provide more fuel at higher
RPMs?
     Now, instead of one throttlebody intake hole dripping a lot of fuel
after engine shut-down, they both only dripped a couple of drops, equally.
This weekend I am going to hook up a few more engine monitoring devices,
such as the tachometer to my engine analyzer (my ECU already shows RPM), and
the oil pressure sender needs to also be connected to the engine analyzer,
etc.
     Speaking of the engine oil pressure sender....mine has provisions for
two wires.  If I recall correctly, most oil pressure senders I have seen
only need one wire.  Possibly the second connector is for ground?
      As per John Slade's suggestion, I am going to remove the thermostat
for now and do more runups. He found his circulation much improved when he
removed the thermostat.   Thanks again to all for answering my multitude of
questions. I would not have this engine running without all the help I
received from this forum.  Thanks again, guys.   Paul Conner.
  P.S.....Rusty, your exhaust looks very nice.  I am impressed at how fast
you developed your welding skills. (forced learning)?
