Ran the engine yesterday prior to DAR arrival to start the Annual. Only got 1900RPM at firewall thrust (full throttle). Hmm.. there's a 2300RPM redline. I'mrunning a Sensi W72CK-42 prop. He (DAR) said that's about right for static runup.It was 41 deg C at the time. Does that concur w/youguys?.. Thx in advance..LerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 10:39:29 -0500

I think you should be seeing about 2100 static with that prop. Carb heat?--------PAPA MIKERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I agree. Until I got my Coudcars prop, I had a Sensenich W72CK40 prop andgot 2150 RPM static. On climbout it also got about 2150.You might check your throttle linkage and make sure it is allowing thethrottle to go to wide open.On the other hand, those old tachometers can sometimes be inaccurate. Ifyou know someone with an optical tach have them see what your engine isactually doing. It might be getting much more than 1900.Check out Harry Fenton's website. He is pretty much the Guru of the smallContinentals. http://www.bowersflybaby.com/tech/fenton.htmJack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Thanks...I've got the overhaul manual in hard copy. I suspect that I'll have to revisitthe throttle linkage first. It was 41 deg out w/Density Alt about 4k, but I wouldstill like to see at least 2100 r's to get a warm fozzy. Maybe new plugs woulddo the trick as well..LerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Chris Essgard gave Mr Pietenpol a ride down his run way at a very high speed asMr, P told me, he said that one ride was enough, I believe that Chris was alsothe driver in a Bat Man movie, Vi Kapler would have more detail.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A65-8 Run Up
