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?
I originally installed a pressure
regulator that was not manifold pressure referenced (normal for NA engine).
After the first runs I learned that the EC2 was set up assuming MAP referenced
pressure. I replaced the regulator and set it for 40 psig with engine off
(about the same as WOT). At idle (MAP of 10-11”) the pressure is about
33-34. Works fine.

Renesis First Start
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.
