Subject: RV-List: PreFlight Problems - Thanks Guys!!


Thanks to those who responded to my problems with high fuel pressure and the Manifold
Press gauge which pegs when the radio is keyed.

As usual, I did something dumb - there are two fuel gauges available from Van's;
I ordered and Installed the one for an injected engine, which goes from 0-50
psi. The gauge  needle is at the one o'clock position when the engine is running,
which on the injected version of the gauge is 30 psi. From the picture in
Van's catalog, one o'clock is about 8 psi on the carbureted version, just about
right.

With the manifold pressure gauge, I'm thinking Kevin Horton is right about Vans
gauges being sensitive to RF energy. I'll fly with it the way it is for a while,
then when I get time, I'll try John Fasching's solution.

Thanks again fellow listers......
