Tracy,
You were right about the slide throttle, was ready for the test flight and my mate pushed himself into the back seat trying to open the throttle. I had done all the mapping with the screw vernier, never trying to push it open. He called my parentage into account and left me to "fix it" With the engine stopped it worked beautifully, start the motor and it locked solid. So it is now to be replaced with twin butterflies as you suggested.
A few further questions,
1. The AL channel does not seem to exist. Have tried many times to find the course of the alarm light going off, and nothing whatever!
2. The EMC still tells me NOP occasionally for no apparent reason???
3. To set the fuel flow from gals to litres 3.78 times, it would appear from your book that I should start in parameter 2 (course fuel flow) rather than par. 0 as suggested. (fine fuel adjust) ??
4. to set the fuel quantity according to your instructions is impossible. Hold 1 - press 3, so far so good. Then it says to press 3 (Abort) which it does. I find I have to press 4 (ack) first and then it all comes good. Is this the correct way??
Neil.

I use 1/8" ID silicone tubing for MAP lines. Truly high temp capable.

That doesn't look like the rubber vacuum line sold in auto parts stores. It

I can see probably the two primary injectors right by where the line melted.
That area should not be too hot since fuel is right there. However I do see
the EGT thermocouple line going by the area as well. That may be
transferring heat to the plastic line.
Do you have a picture a little farther back to help orientation as to where
we are looking on the engine?
I got the line from Advance Auto, and it was labelled as high-temp MAP line. I will look to see if I can find something different.
I've attached the best pic I could find to show where I'm pulling the MAP from. There really doesn't seem to be many options to relocate the pickup as Dave suggests, because the line will still need to loop around to the "bathroom handle" firewall penetration.
Mark, I don't think I have the option to pick up MAP without being near the exhaust unless I completely redesign my intake. I do have the exhaust completely encased in a .020 stainless box, but I think the issue is that without a blast tube into the encasement, the heat has no where to go. I also think that air comes off the prop, through the front mounted radiator, and swirls around the engine inside the cowl. That would blow air past the exhaust and right across the MAP and electrical lines. But I've not thought of a way to verify this theory.
