The EC2 instructions say 36 psi. I only moved it to 42-43 psi to get some usable mixture range for the short run today.  My Aeromotive is missing the adjustment screw and was reading 30 psi out of the box. We installed a temporary screw and tried 36 psi. It was better but still did not have a very wide mixture range on the rich side. Once I put the prop on I will set the pressure back to 36 before tuning. I need to verity how my primary and secondary injectors are setup first.

That's interesting. When I was first starting to test my rotary I had to back the fuel pressure way down to get it to run relatively well. I'm backed off as far as the Aeromotive regulator will go and indicating about 33psi. Now that things are running better maybe I should try to bump it back up a little. I think Dave Leonard told me he had to go down on pressure as well. What is the consensus opinion?
 
Still some little tuning issues but it's running well enough to taxi around now. Runs great above 3000 RPM. Maybe a revisit to fuel pressure will help.
 
Need to find a DAR and get this thing inspected/flying!

Saturday with the help of Mark Steitle I was able to start my renesis. Had to run higher rpm's to keep to it running. Wideband O2 showed lean at lower rpm's.  Today after adjusting the fuel pressure to 42 psi (was 30 psi) I was able to idle much lower. My Advanced Flight System EFIS\ engine monitor fuel injector circuit is not putting out a tach signal so no idea on the actual rpm's. Two primer clicks and it starts right up.
