To remind y'all, following very hard starting, I discovered bad apex seal springs in my rotor 2 most likely due to detonation. I cracked the keg and replaced the rear apex
springs and sealed it all back up. While apart, I did not discover any 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. 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 take the mixture from full lean to a more moderate setting (even if the tuning 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. MAP and adjust Mode 3 once started to just over the mid point per the EC2 manual.
It takes an extended period of time of cranking (maybe 50 or 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 up".
I pulled the plugs to check inside and unlike before all the apex seals are nice and springy, HOWEVER, when I do a compression check I am only getting about 60 psi on the
rear rotor. I am getting about 80 psi on the front rotor, which is what I expected.
