Subject: [FlyRotary] fuel injection
Tracy, this morning I got the Tailwind out for
the first flight, started it up and every thing looked like a go, the wind has
finally subsided. Went to the house to tell my wife and went out to
go. On start up the engine was flooding bad, so I shut of the primary
and secondary injector switches and the engine leaned out enough to stay
running. From past posts it is my understanding that the injectors are
activated by the ground, is this correct. This is the same way it acted
last fall when I changed the injectors, some thing is causing them to stay
open, apparently when things get up to temperature and it sits for a short
period of time. The wiring harness is one of Bob Whites and is wired
according to his diagram, which I have checked several times. I noticed
that the mixture and program knobs do not function with the injectors
switches off.
If I pull the fuse to the fuel injection system,
can I fly on the Weber carb, it runs well with it. If I can get the 40
hrs flown off, maybe I can get it down to Mason and have David check it
out, as is beyond my capabilities.
