Jared, I just reinstalled my 582 with a new GA 72" Warp Drive prop. I've
got it set at 12 1/2 degrees of pitch. That is what I had on my old Warp
drive prop. I'm idling down around 1600 rpm and max static on the ground is
5500 rpm with the engine at full operating temp. It would wind up to 5700
rpm before it warmed to full operating temp, say down around 110 degree
water temp. I'm not sure what static rpm should be on this set up. I looked
at an old CPS catalog which used to be the Rotax bible before they were
bought out. But, couldn't find reference to static rpm.
Can anybody verify what static rpm should be? Jared's 4300 rpm
static sounds low.
You don't mention prop specs Jared. They would help.
