Al,
My EC-2 manual is at the airport, but I'm pretty sure that the latest manual says to use Mode 9 to copy A to B.  Following the EC-2 manual, I did that on Sunday and it worked fine.  I know that Tracy made some changes to a few of the modes.  As always... follow the installation manual, and after an upgrade always throw out the old manual.

Mike;

 

Mode 9???  Unless your unit is different, copy A to B is mode 2 – and it copies everything. Mode 9 is for fine adjustment of mixture settings, and is used for ato-tune in conjunction with the EM2.

I now have the airplane running pretty good throughout the RPM range on controller A. Using Mode 9 I copied the program to the B controller. I assumed that the engine would run the same (more or less) on B after the copy, but no... Seems to be rich throughout the range - to the point of mis-firing, surging, running rough, etc.... I think I can tweak everything to settle it down, but is this normal? I assumed there may be differences in the MAP sensor which would result in a small difference but really did not expect such a drammatic difference. At most throttle settings I have to turn the mixture full lean to smooth it out.

 

Does the Mode 9 copy just copy the MAP table or does it also copy things like the staging point, the global injector setting, etc...

 

If I can get this B controller dialed in I'll be out of excuses - time to fly.
