Hi Rick,
Ithink the 2 pickup sensors on the ignition is used also on the calculation for RPM and other stuff. You have to set them up at the degrees mentionated, the pic measure the time between the 2 sensors and figures the RPM and so on. I know Iread that some where, What is gets me is the 60 degree stuff to obtain the 7500 WOT.If it was with one ignition module ...can say that may be something wrong with the module, but 2 units and same result.....I can not comment in any way.
On another hand I just did another conversion on a FG 30 a friend of mine had the engine and he was not happy with that carb. I put my Zama carb and with any adjustment on the carb I give it a start. Start great, run great, Idle, transition to WOT. It spins a Vess prop 18x8 6800RPM's I did a fuel test and it burns 1 OZ in 2.6 min WOT.
On the FA180, same carb, prop I get only 6200. Diffrence is in the valves, FG30 are 1mm smaller , Intake 2.5mm smaller, exhaust 1mm bigger VS FA180. Iwill try to decrease the intake on the FA180 to see if I get better results.
<font color="#00265e" size="2">w8ye</font> , If I good remember you have a FG36? Iwill like to know if possible the ID on the intake mainafold, I will like to compare that with a FA220, that will be next project, then a FA130T, FA300Tand a Enya VT240.
My plate is full for the summer.
Thanks
Adrian
