RE: AMT Pegasus SP spool up ???
Max set throttle is showing 115K rpm.
As an SP I really expected better performance than the stock one in the KingCat..........
Are BYPASSES known for having negative effects on turbines versus being open air???
>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>
1) as per before 115 is not an sp.....it is a standard 28lb peggy
2) breaking in fuel pumps is very important to set the gears...30 to 45 mins in your furl can is fine
3) for added power cut five holes the size of a nickel at the rear of your by pass ( spaced evenly ) where it tapers down near the exhaust cone
4) v-max can differ in 3 ways on your edt.....a) temp outside....30 to 50 degrees .... b) fuel filter clogging ...kero doesnt have the anit biologics that jet a does so it can be a problem if you run kero with growth...c) pump wearing out
to check a pump you need a variable voltage source.....run the voltage to 6v....then pinch off the line going out of the pump...if the voltage doesnt drop below 1.25 then fuel is slipping passed the gears and the fuel pump is dying ...a new pump would bring the engine back to life again
...dying fuel pumps...they useally dont drop dead they slowly die....and it is harddr and harder to make rpm....and you know someting is up
hope this helps
