Tracy,
Since I've bee flying a bit, I have been working on calibrating the fuel flow on my EM2. If  the EM2 shows more fuel having been consumed than actualy consumed, do I change the constant upwards or downwards. Right now, with a constant of 170, the EM2 shows that I consumbed 17.8 gallons of fuel, when I actually flowed 15 gallons. The percent difference is 118% of actual flow. do I change the constant upwards or downwards?
 
 
I am also putting in new spark plugs, but I tend to think the issue with a sudden engine stumble at 6100 rpms is probably an ignition problems it is very consistant in how it presents- it seems to be directly tied to engine RPM. I will still try dithering with the fuel mixture and spark timing, but my gut feeling is that the problem is in how the EM2 interacts with the gen 3 CAS.
 
Thanks,
Brian Trubee
