Default RE: Eletronic engine syncronizer **SUPPORT **

Hi Bill I'm Jason - the guy you spoke to last tuesday. I finally got a chance to set up my DC-3 and try out the Twin Sync. After getting the engines set up independantly I ran them together and the Twin Sync worked - sort of.
Here is what it's doing. At idle led3/4 are off. A few clicks above idle and led3/4 come on and I can hear the engines in sync, I can see the throttles making adjustments to stay in sync. Sounds good until both engines drop down to somewhere above idle. This happens at any throttle setting above idle. I thought it could be the Twin Sync loosing signal or a sensor but when I move the throttle the engines match the throttle and stay there until I move the stick again somtimes the engines match the throttle stick somtimes they drop to above idle. I find this odd because I don't have to drop down below sync to regain control. I had several succesful engine out tests "pinched one fuel line" and the other engine drops to idle and I can't regain control of the remaining engine until I go to idle.
Any help would be great. Thanks again. Jason
