RE: KingTech K-80
Barry,
I have number 298. I've done 3 test runs and once she has started to ramp up, no problems. I'm using Kero with a 5% Aeroshell oil mix at the moment. I've got a few question related to ECU setting and these are:
1. The idle speed being higher than the set 45k. Idle is a little lower than 47k rpm. I'll try adjusting the pump power down as Barry recommends. The fuel pump i have is the stock fuel pump(black casing, grey pump head). Is that a flight works pump?
2. Start cycle - from a cold start, i will get a time out warning on the first start attempt so i have to reset on the Tx and and then on the second start attempt, she will ramp nicely. I have the throttle cut switch programmed on my 11X-zero so this makes it quite easy.
I think this may be related to the butane/gas settings and/or bottle pressure. I use autostart and with glow plug power at 33, gas at 88% now. Thinking of setting gas to 100% but i will try a new bottle to see if a higher pressure bottle will allow startup on the first attempt. Any ideas?
3. I have throttle response set to Half-Expo at the moment and i get a smooth, clean ramp up from 50% power all the way to 100%. It takes about 4-5 seconds for WOT to come in. On Linear, 50% to 100% resulted in a pause/surging then it would go to 100% cleanly after that. Would adjusting the fuel pump setting down eliminate the pause/surging? I was hoping to use a linear setting.
Thanks in advance guys! appreciate the help!
Regards
Rob
