After final adjustment is accomplished, torque the jam nut according to Appendix B
specification. Check reading again as in step 3 to ensure tightening the lock nut did
not affect relief valve setting.
NOTE: Operate the engine at 1500 - 1800 RPM for 15 seconds
after each adjustment. Retard the throttle to the specified IDLE
RPM to obtain an accurate fuel pump pressure reading.
Rated full throttle RPM may not be attainable during ground
operation with a fixed pitch propeller. Locate the maximum RPM
achievable in the table and follow the intersecting point on the
graph back to the fuel pressure setting for the indicated RPM -2/+5
psig.
6.
Adjust the full power fuel pressure to match the value specified in Figure 9-9 by
turning the adjustable orifice (Figure 9-10). Turn the adjustment clockwise to increase
pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Recheck IDLE RPM pump
pressure and adjust if necessary.
7.
Repeat the operational check and adjustments until idle and full power RPM are
within limits.
8.
If fuel pressure settings are correct, torque jam nut on the orifice adjustment to
Appendix B specifications.
9.
Adjust the IDLE RPM (Figure 9-11) to 850
±
25 RPM for propeller moment of
inertias of 4.5-10 in-lbs-sec
2
and 700
±
25 RPM for propeller moment of inertias
greater than 10 in-lbs-sec
