Hi Guys...I've had an interesting couple of days trouble shooting the motors....Glen, I switched the tiny tacks, but no change in the readings...still get 6000 easy on the rt. engine, and 5500 maybe 5600 on the left....checked throttle full open, thanks Tyler....However as I was retuning the rt engine, and it would excelerate great and idle great, it wouldn't run steady up around 5000 rpm.....just sort of surging, not much, but you could hear it.....this is not right, I'm not going to fly with that engine like that, so I took the carb off and to my small engine man, and after a new diaphram kit, ( the old one turned out to be in poor shape), and adjusting the lever...it was not in the level,...and blowing out the jets etc., I've got a motor that runs a heck of a lot better....although the left engine seemed ok I had him do it also......now I have the peace of mind of knowing the status of both the carbs.....anyway, they're back on the plane, and idleing around 1800....thanks again for straightening me out on that low speed setting.... and ready to go.
Don...the tiny tack picks up the impulse fromthe extra magnets, and that makes it count double the actual rpm, although once it gets past 10000, it doesn't seem to be consistant.....the left engine seems to pick up a extra 100 or so rpm on electronic, but I don't see much difference in speed on the rt. one....All in all I think I'm going to be happy with my arrangement
Thanks to all for your thoughts and suggestions
Pete
