Tracy once said that allup load to run the EC-2, pump, and ignition/injectors was almost 13 amps, if Bernie is getting only 7.8 amps

that is an interesting data point.  At what rpm was that Bernie? Rusty
just quoted 12.1 amps at 1500 rpm, with 4.4 going to the Davies Craig water
pump. That would be consistent with Bernie's if his measurements were at
similar rpm

Boy, do not remember the rpm when measuring the 7.8 amps, but is was with
tipup canopy open so that could reach the feed wire. The flight was at
5000 rpm.
