Finally completed my first engine run. What a buzz..
I have run the engine for 30 minutes in-accordance with the instructions from the engine re-builder, a well respected shop here in Australia. My only concern is the static RPM seems low, It will only produce 2000RPM max at WOT. The engine is fitted with a metal Sensenich prop 72 x 85 pitch as sold through Vans. Unfortunately I don't have MAP so are unable to see what the engine is really doing.
Can anyone recall what static RPM is normal for this combination.
I would hope that once the engine has bedded in that the RPM (static) would increase. Is this hopeful thinking?
Cheers
