With the engine off, the MP gauge should read atmospheric pressure, a point only obvious to me after it was pointed out! The supercharger on the M14P, according to this table, provides max 125 mmHg boost at max RPM. This is only 5 inches boost in USA/imperial units. -------- Paul Beardsell HA-YAB http://beardsell.com/flying/ha-yab Yak-18T http://beardsell.com/flying/yak18t Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=311785#311785 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:37:57 AM PST US From: "A.

For anyone who is interested, here is the link on my web site which may make understanding the M14 power chart a little clearer. http://www.yak-52.com/Power%20Settings.htm Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: psb777 To: yak-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 3:54 AM Subject: Yak-List: M14P RPM, manifold pressure (boost), power, fuel consumption Following on from the "low boost" discussion, I have added a few columns to the table provided in the M14P maintenance manual and that enhanced table can be found here: http://bit.ly/M14P-fuel-consumption Note that Po is atmospheric pressure and, as Dennis points out, that is 760 mmHg at STP (sea level).

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Re: Low Boost? RPM hunting - just for the heck of it, have you recently removed and cleaned the prop governor oil/finger screen on the right side of the nose case? Most likely not related to the manifold pressure question/issue. I would like to know what your field elevation is. As you know, the manifold pressure gauge reads atmospheric pressure with the engine off. Assuming your manifold pressure gauge is reasonably calibrated (from what I have seen, many are not), 735 mm with the engine off would suggest your field elevation is about 1000 feet or about 300 meters. You can easily check the calibration of your manifold pressure gauge by setting your field elevation on your altimeter and reading the Kollsman window. US altimeters will need to be converted from inches to millimeters. Compare the MP gauge to the altimeter. The MP gauge can be adjusted. There is a small covered hole in the rear of the MP gauge. If I remember correctly, it is a little stick-on cover. Remove it and you will see the adjustment screw inside. You will need a special slotted tool to adjust it. But it can be done. Have you tightened all of the intake tube gland nuts and the intake tube collars? If you have an intake drain kit, check to make sure there are no leaks from the fittings on the intake drain kit. Any leaks around the intake tubes will cause a reduction in manifold pressure. Check the flexible hose from the top of the supercharger to the manifold pressure gauge. The hose itself may be leaking.

I have 735mm with engine off and only get 830mm on take-off roll.Still get 99% on rpm. Had 2 take-offs in the last 20 hours where the rpm "hunt" between 99% and 89% (WOT),came back to 80% and still hunting 5% up and down.Only when I set 70% and 700mm it stabilized.Never done it again! I don't think the 2 are related though.
