Brief Description:  Wired the mags and alternator and starter. Electri

Started off the day by riviting on a couplke of retainer clips to the side baffles. That was easy and got me ready to work.
Finished coneectors on the P-lead shield grounds. Attached the wires to the correct mags. I had routed them in a simple basic manner with slack to be tied up later.

Mounted the 60 amp plane power alternator just hand tight as well.
The plug in back has two wires and a jumper already installed. The white wire is for alternator light. I do not have one so I clipped it and shrink tubed to the other wire. The red wire nis the ALT field wire and I ran it back towrds battery tray and connectorized it and attached to the alt field wire from main buss.
The main wire from Alternator is a 6AWG wire and so I got to use "Jaws" again to crimp a ring terminal on.
Secured the starter wire nuts.
Got a 12 v battery out and hooked up. Powered up the panel again.

Problems noted:
1. low oil psi light not on. This should be on and the hobbs meter should be off when main battery switch on. This is probably due to the oil PSI switch I installed. will need to investigate.

2. OAT on dynon not reading. OAT on my GT50 gauge works but off by 20 degrees. I think possible erro due to using a dynon OAT probe for the GT50. But dont know why its not reading anything at all on the Dynon display. More investigation.

3. Carb temp not showing up on Dynon at all. I think I have to add the field to the display but dont know how yet

4. Fuel PSI readin 19! Funny because I dont have any fuel on board and one end of fuel line is open to air. Hmmmmm?

5.Oil temp and Psi indications working but dont know how I could habe 80 PSI on oil. Temp reading about room temp. That makes since I guess

6.CHT and EGT probes all working. All reading room temp with in a degree or two of each other. Not a problem. Just surprised they work!

7. ******* Starter dead when I turned the key to see if it spun up. I dont have the ring gear attached so the engine not being turned over.
Spent quite awhile researching the error on t
