Brief Description: First engine start
|
|
Lots of prep to getr ready for engine start..
redid the wiring for the ziptips and refixed the wingtiip
Fitted HS/fuselge trim strip
re fitted the SB wing root fairing after fixing the leak from the front pipe.
Checked allt he fittindgs on the engine, and took outside for first start.
First start ok, ran a bit lumpy on what I thought was the e-mag... but engine stopped after turning the 'normal' mag on... wierd.
After much head scratching, an checkin wires at the magnetos, I figured that the e-mag wasnt switched on, and that the mag was live in the 'off'position.
Took the wiring loom apart, and reverser the pins on the mag switch.
Then had to swap the 8 pin switch to a 10 pin plug, swap a couple of wires around.
Engine ran perfectly after that!
ran it three times, no leaks, all gauges working well.
Put it to bed, very happy!
