There are "O"rings bonded into Aluminum washers that are designed to be
used on two mating flat surfaces, the Aluminum keeps the o-ring from
squeezing out.

Probably too early to give you that. (Used 8.10 and PICkit2).<br>

Ran for the first time today (no prop).<br>

Zero RPM readout on EM3. I must have misunderstood the instructions or the =
program. I thought the EM3 got RPM from the EC3, so I didn&#39;t wire the t=
ach input to the EM3.<br>
EM3 shows &quot;NOP&quot; until EC3 is turned on. Then shows &quot;0&quot;.=
<br>
<br>
Max oil pressure only about 50 psi, hopefully because of low RPM.<br>
Forgot to turn on master switch so alternator didn&#39;t come on-line.<br>
Didn&#39;t log the run where that worked.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, can now say I&#39;ve run the engine :)<br>
