Default RE: REFERENCE SETTING K-140-F

Just return back from a trip in Asia

I would attribute three of the most crucial parameters in start up fuel richness adjustments as follow: Ignition pump PW, Engine Min flow and Preheat fuel. You now have 18, 50 and 45 respectively, but I would suggest for both 140s and 170s to be even leaner in most cases, 17/30/30. But then if you like the way it starts now, don't touch it.

Also, in your run menu, you might want to decrease those delays to get an even better performance out of the engine. The idea is to get it as low as possible (closer to 0) and without the growling noise, which is an indication of the beginning of a compressor stall.

Have fun,
Barry
