Hi Jim,

Creating a pressure vs flow chart would give a lot more information.  That's
what Bill Shertz did with his water pump tests.  Unfortunately, I didn't have
any pressure guages to put in the system.  This whole setup was a quick & dirty
kudge to get the flow data.  It's a good idea and I might consider building a
better system later.  Right now I need to get my engine running.  I'm
getting envious of all flying rotaries while mine is only collecting
dust. :)
