Barry, <div>
</div><div>I have the same issue with mine. Spool up time from idle to WOT (10secs), other than that works great... from 1/4 to 100% power though it spools up in about 2-3 secs. Pump is MTH so its the latest... I havnt been able to figure out any settings that will improve the delay so i try to stay in the 1/3-100% range prior to final approach. </div><div>
</div><div>I have found that on final approach you need to be very sure before you cut the throttle. </div><div>

Hi Rob, if the 10 second acceleration isn't an exaggeration, that means it takes 7 to 8 seconds from idle to 1/4 throttle, which is something I have never seen. Todd has an excellent point on keeping an eye on the temperature and temp probe adjustment if needed, but at the same time, I have not seen reaching peak temp during that first 1/4 phase of acceleration. Since you are in the Philippines, let us know if you would like to send it in to the factory for an inspection.
