My first ground run-up to wot (wheels chocked) yielded RPM of 3056, MP of 36.8, oil pressure rose to 68.8 and the oil temp was at 104. I'm not sure what the initial numbers should look like. Having prob with my RDAC/MX1 so I do not have CHT or EGT therefore my run-up was kept very brief. I have the Sensenich climb prop from Sonex. My aeroinjector setup was per the manual with no additional adjustments made. Run-up was smooth. Idling ok between 800 and 900 RPM. No balking on top. No oil on the ground after...
Any thoughts on these initial numbers? Can I expect the RPM and MP to increase once I'm rolling?
