I have recently purchased a PTE 36R, love the engine. I have about a tank of fuel through it and is running an 18x8 prop. Has anyone have problems with the engine idling no lower than 2000 rpms and top rpms of 10,000?
You are underpropped. Try running a 20" prop on it (Maybe a 19" for the first few hours). These engines really like a 20" prop
I have been monitoring the one I had (It belongs to someone else now as i had no use for it). It is quite a powerhouse when tuned right and propped right. That one now has well over 50 flying hours on it and hasn't missed a beat.
