Today I ran the plane with the cowling on and I had
it tied down.
OAT 80
WT 220
and climbing
OilT 195
MP
28
RPM 5000
After about 4 minutes the water and oil temps
started to climb and the engine started missing.
2 questions - will these temperatures stabilize
with the plane in motion and or climbing out.
will the NACA duct in it's present location at the rear of the cowling
cool the fuel pump. Enclosed are two pictures of the pump enclosure and
the NACA duct. The NACA duct has a 1 inch tube going down into the pump
enclosure. The engine ran ok when I switched it to carburetion. The
fuel pump line was hot. It ran fine on the FI this evening as it had
cooled and I had the cowling off. JohnD Your message is ready
