You want 0.0073 Ohms maybe. Your meter won't measure it. Measuring very low resistances is not for the faint-hearted. Basically you should run high current through the part and measure the voltage drop. This is done quickly (often by a pulse) because the part changes resistance due to heating. Then R equals I/E. Measuring very high resistances is hard too. They use "meggers" which apply kilovolts, then they measure current through the part. Cool. The engine ground strap is a needless weak point. Some improvement is possible. "I have a truly marvellous proof of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain."

My question is why not be able to operate the second Fuel Pump from either battery? Seems like it would give another option for keeping the fuel flowing. Mine will be wired this way. Thanks to Bob N. for all he does.

After flight, I pulled and re-docked the 430 and compared its transmissions to the SL30's in the same panel (same freq, same volume level, same type antennas, same antenna location on the airplane, engine off) and got a "like the SL30 but scratchy" from one station, and "4 by 4 on the SL30 and 3 by 3 on the 430" from another. Maybe significantly, the headset side tone from the 430 is about half the volume of the SL30's, without touching settings on the headset or GMA340, obviously. All other 430 functions work fine, to include reception and VOR/ILS freqs. Has anyone had a similar/identical problem with their 430, and if so, what solutions were successful? Thanks, David ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:55:42 PM PST US From: LarryMcFarland Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Z-19 Hi Glenn, I don't know about the diagram number, but your items match mine and I did wire things very closely to the AeroElectric diagrams. Absolutely no problems so far, but for one early on, not having a contactor replacing my internal starter relay power. The link below perhaps offers a different schematic view. http://www.macsmachine.com/images/electrical/full/primary-wiring.gif Lots of images on the engine page and electrical page Good luck, Larry McFarland 601HDS - Subaru power, one alternator and 4 fuel pumps at www.macsmachine.com longg@pjm.com wrote: > > > I would like to hear from anyone who has implemented this diag > successfully.
