To remind y'all, following very hard starting, I disco= vered bad apex seal springs in my rotor 2 most likely due to detonatio= n.  I cracked the keg and replaced the rear apex springs and sealed it all back up.  While apart, I did not discover a= ny damage other than the bad springs.

 

I have been trying to tune the engine, however, even using = BOTH my EC2's, I am still having problems with very hard starting. &nb= sp; When I do get it to start it is at full lean and I believe only if I switch over to B.  Once started I can ta= ke the mixture from full lean to a more moderate setting (even if the tunin= g is still lacking) and it will run on A or B about the same.  I have = reset A to factory settings.  I do have a bit larger injectors, per Mistrals recommendation, but did crank her up to 22.&n= bsp;MAP and adjust Mode 3 once started to just over the mid point per the&n= bsp;EC2 manual.

 

It takes an extended period of time of cranking (maybe 50 o= r 60 seconds...betting my starter is hating me) before it starts = and then kinda just starts running as a continuation of the starter being turned, instead of the engine actually "firing u= p".

 

I pulled the plugs to check inside and unlike before a= ll the apex seals are nice and springy, HOWEVER, when I do a compressi= on check I am only getting about 60 psi on the rear rotor.  I am getting about 80 psi on the front rotor, which is w= hat I expected.
