Re: [T3] more work on the square .. got a pressure test

[Jon <afn01446@afn.org>]

Finally got a working adapter after only three different
adapters.  Hooked it all up, and surprisingly no fuel
spurted out of the nozzle when it was opened.  I guess
the pressure settles after a day or so.  Hit the key
switch a few times, the pressure read ~18psi, which is
what it went back to after the engine was shut off, so its
apparently normal.  While the engine was running it
held ~31 psi.  Not spec, but I dont think thats so far out
as to cause problems.  (not sure, havent checked a manual
yet)  The engine ran smoothly, sounding like it was
running at ~1000rpm and would hop between ~1000
and ~960 a few times a minute.  There is an electric
tach hooked up, so they arent entirely guesses.
The rpm hopping is pretty much a guess, the needle
would barely move when you would hear the engine drop
or gain noise. One other thing I'm wondering about, I
did pour in a bottle of gumout fuel injection cleaner
on a full tank. Beyond that, my next guess would be
more bad wiring somewhere the next time it gives me
trouble. 
Hope I havent irritated anyone too much.. :)

Thanks for your help,
Jon
