Subject: [FlyRotary] injectors
Well I spent the afternoon testing the computer system and after checking the grounds and the power to the injectors, I ran the engine up to 180 degrees, stopped for a glass of tea and went back out to the shed and started the engine, flooding, pulled the fuse quick so as to not flood the engine. I have the upgrade's so I clipped the stethoscope to each injector and ran the test mode for the injectors and each on was clicking, so I tried a restart with the fuse pulled and the engine started. I unplugged all the injectors and the engine started, so I guess the new set isn't working any better than the rebuilds I bought from Bruce T. Is there a way to test those injectors to tell which may be hanging open. I have two cycle oil and MM oil in the fuel, so every thing should be well lubed, I did this when I was having a condition with the rotor lube pump. I think I'll go out this evening after it
cools down and see if will still run with the injectors unplugged. I'll have to wait till Tracy gets home to find out if it's Okay to run with the Weber with the fuel side of the computer turned off. JohnD....Thank you for your help!
