At that time, with the EC2, I could get the engine
to run up to about 5000 rpm, after that it was missing, running rough and
surging but would not run any faster. I worked with Tracy on that,
he told me to add diodes in the CAS circuit, it did improve the situation but
did not correct it. We tried a few diode configurations with no acceptable
results. Tracy mentionned that the EC3 controller would fix that problem
so I ordered one and it did fix the problem. But now it seems that it is
comming back.
Since the problem is with controller A only, it
could be that it is in controller A. I did not dare fly with one
controller operational only. I get full power on controller B.
On controller A, the symptomes are the same as when I had the problem with the
EC2 controller.

Rino,
What exactly is it about the
Renesis crank angle sensor signal that the EC-2 can not
handle?

Anyone had a problem with the
Renesis crank angle sensor and had to change it. I may have to get a new
crank angle sensor, but first I want to check with you
guys.
Tracy is
probably gone to Colorado, maybe someone got this problem
before.
I cannot get full power on my
Renesis for takeoff on Controller A. Seems like controller B works
OK.
It is not the fuel mixture, I
tried that. Actually, when the throttle is wide open the mixture display
goes up and down rapidly, from full lean to full rich and the engine
surge.
I had a similar problem when I
first installed and started the Renesis. I had the EC2 controller then
and had to get the EC3 to fix the problem. Now it is coming back to me
on the EC3, I think. The problem then was with the crank sensor, the EC2
could not handle the sensor signal at more than about 5000
rpm.
I think the problem started
progressively during the last few hours of flight, at first I thought it was a
fuel mixture problem and was trying to ajust for that but now it is not a
mixture problem. Since the controller B has NO temp. sensor and works
ok, I wonder if it has anything to do with that problem on controller
A.
