Also, I’d expect
turning off the primary would then result in a leaner mixture
Absolutely agree with
this.
Yes, we tested the
individual injector banks a number of times and had no problems. Although;
I can’t say for sure that we did it below the stage point.
The engine is amazingly
tolerant of mixture changes at higher power settings, so it would be important
to know it worked on the dyno at the same power settings you're testing
now.
You’ve got me
thinking that I did have to take the pins out of one side of the plugs to pull
them through to the engine compartment. The plugs are marked A, B, C, and
D. and the wires were marked to match. I, of course, got them back in
correctly, right? I’ll have to check.
That's the
idea. The prime suspect is anything that could possibly have been changed
between the dyno and the plane. The second suspect would be something
appeared to work properly on the dyno, but wasn't tested thoroughly enough
to be sure.
Another
note about checking these connections. It's VERY easy to overlook the
same mistake multiple times, particularly if you're convinced it's OK.
It's just a little practical joke that our brain plays on us. Everyone
does it at some point. Ever spend 20 minutes looking for something that
you eventually "find" right on the desk in front of you. No? Yeah,
me neither :-) If possible, have someone else double check these
connections just to get an unbiased view.
Thank you for
giving this so much thought. It is appreciated.
You're
welcome. Good luck.
