attempt to set mixture or anything, and all of the sensors are using the
default settings.  The actual values may change as I get calibration data.
I do have Tracy's latest self adjusting mixture feature, and it did seem
like the engine smoothed out as it ran.

 
Hi Bob,
 
Glad to hear your engine is running, and all the parts are still attached
:-)    As for autotune, if you haven't read the instructions yet, I guarantee you
aren't using autotune yet.  I'm looking forward to trying it, and might even
do that tomorrow.  I'm going to run the engine some more, and try to make
some sense of the rattle zones on the redrive.   Cheers,

PS- Thanks Dale for the Gmail invite.  
Hi Rusty,

I'm going to have to talk to Tracy about that.  I twisted his arm and
made him send me the instructions for modifying the PC board for the
new chips he's using.  (Didn't want to give up the EC2 in case I needed
it.)  I don't think I have any instructions for using autotune, so
maybe I'm not using it.  At one point I did flip over to the B
controller.  Engine didn't miss a beat.

Bob W.
