Brief Description: AeroVee S/N 0736 First Engine Start
Run AeroVee engine S/N 0736 for the first time.
Oil pressure @ startup = 45 psi on both the temporary analog guage and the MGl instrument. After oil warmed up to 100 deg F oil pressure = 42 psi. Oil temperature never exceeded ~100 deg F until after engine shutdown, when it increased to 123 deg F. Checked temperature of the oil sump with an infrared sensor device, it was also 123 deg F.
AeroVee Injector installed as delivered from the factory, no adjustments.
Engine idles ok down to ~ 700 RPM, starts to idle rough and seems to want to quit at ~ 650 RPM, but it did not quit.
Smooth throttle response up and down, engine runs smooth from 700 to 2000 RPM.
No oil or fuel leaks evident.
During the 4:39 engine run, I observed the following temperatures:
Max CHT = ~ 285 Max EGT = ~ 885
In the excitement of the first engine start, I did forget to check the secondary ignition by itself.
