The other issue is when you chop the
throttle from a high setting, to idle. This is very strange. Say
the idle is set at 1900 rpm, and I’m running at high throttle. When
I chop the throttle, the rpm goes low, to around 1600 and stays
there. During this time, the MP is 16.0, and the engine is very rough.
It will stay here forever, but if you turn the mixture knob about 90 degrees
CCW to lean it out, it smoothes out, the rpm increases to 1900, and the MP
drops to 13.0. If you are at a higher throttle setting, and decrease
throttle more slowly, it will come down to 1900 rpm, 13 MP, and smooth.
It also seems like the engine is jumping back and forth between the dual map
ranges, and I believe this false 16" MP reading at the rough, low idle is
from the dual map. I think I even proved that to myself by watching
the EM-2 screen that shows EC-2 readings. I’ve got some work
to do on this one, but it's just a tuning issue.
