Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Injectors wired
wrong
Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts...the last couple of days I sent
two messages explaining what happened with my injector problems, but they
didn't appear on the flyrotary site....Trying again.
Looks like they all
just kicked in.
Now, instead of one
throttlebody intake hole dripping a lot of fuel after engine shut-down, they
both only dripped a couple of drops, equally.
After you mentioned this, I started
thinking that it's almost inevitable to get some dripping out of the TB when
it's pointing downward like ours is. With the EC-2, I usually shut the
engine off by killing power to the EC-2 and ignition (one switch). If I
tend to get the residual drips that you mentioned, I might try shutting the
engine off via the injector disable switches, or maybe the fuel pump.
I'm also thinking of how I'm going to make the intake box for the TB, and how
I need to make sure it can drain a little fuel safely away from the hot bits
of the engine if needed. Thanks for the heads-up.
CUT.
Cheers,
Rusty (Where's Tommy's

Hi, Rusty....Looks like I'm back
online with FlyRotary. As far as the dripping from the throttlebody
(that tilts downward). I have been shutting the engine by simply turning
off the key. This turns of both the ECU and the fuel pump.
I'm thinking that if I were to shut off the fuel pump, this would make the
engine go lean for a moment, just like pulling the mixture on a Lycoming, and
very possibly eliminate any fuel from the mouth of the throttlebody.
I'll give that a try. Take care. Paul
