New owner - fuel pressures
I just bought a 68 T337C, my second Skymaster. My first, a normally aspirated 68 337C was a "bargain" priced original which needed everything done to it. I decided not to repeat that mistake and bought one with new engines, avionics, paint, interior, and so on.
Naturally there are always issues to deal with. The first is that the rear engine will not produce full power at 15,000 ft - but it is fine at 9,000 ft. At 15K the front engine MP is 26" but the rear is only 21" with full throttle. We think the fuel system needs to be set up (rear engine was removed shortly after overhaul due to prop blade damage from ground debris). At 15K with 21" the fuel flow is showing almost 0 on the rear but 8 or so on the front, even though the EGTs are set and pretty equal. Hmm.....am I on the right track? The possibility of the waste gate not closing occured to me too. Anybody experienced similar problems?
What a great forum you guys have going here. I am excited to be a part of it.
