This afternoon I had one off my flying friends over
and we pulled the plane out of the garage and tried a first start. I
thought the Weber would be a no brainer, so after checking for spark, I turned
on the fuel and the low pressure pumps. No fuel at the Weber and the low
pressure gauge is not functioning, I found later as I tried the pumps and the
fuel flowed into the Weber, as the needle valve didn't hold this
time. Tomorrow I'll check the fuel pressure with a manual gauge and order
up the higher pressure needle valve that Lynn mentioned, if he gives me a heads
up as where to find one. Next I turned on the high pressure pump, flipped
up the cold start switch and the engine started, it will run with the cold start
switch on, but on checking we found that only one injector is working. The
injectors where ones I got from Bruce T. which were rebuilt, so maybe I need to
get a new set, as it is a real project to get to the primary's under the over
the top intake manifold. Lots of things to check out tomorrow. One
thing, it didn't make that nasty noise running on one injector and exhausting
through the Hushpower II muffler, but it did sound real good running for the
first time. JohnD
