Well N96PM makes
noise again. It's running like .hit, but it IS
running.
The (final)
starting problem was the secondary injector switch. I found low voltage at the
secondary injectors and traced it back to the switch - serves me right - it was
one of those mini radio shack switches. They're supposed to be rated for 10A,
but the innards of these things are pitiful. I know because the switch fell
apart in my hand. Two big fat DPDT switches later and the engine fires up right
away. But I'm pretty sure its running on one rotor, and THAT one isn't running
well - very rich, I think. The engine shakes more than it ever has and doesn't
respond hardly at all to throttle changes. Just sits and burbles at about
1600rpm.
So, I have a bit
more debugging to do, but at least it's a step
forward.
