We were all saddened when we heard the report of Ian's aircraft mishap.

It

is a terrible loss for anyone that has spent years of effort in creating

an

aircraft.
     I seem to recall that Ian was using a MicroTech ECU, as am I.  If

Ian

is still monitoring this list, I would love to hear anything at all that

he

might be able to offer regarding how he initially leaned his engine with

the

MicroTech, possibly with basic numbers and/or methods used. I still have

my

head buried in the ECU manual....just hoping that Ian can give me the
layman's leaning version, especially pertaining to initial setup.  Ian,

if

you are still online and may be able to get me started in the right
direction, please contact me off-line (since most people on the list
probably have Tracy's ECU) at  sqpilot@earthlink.net    My 13b starts on

the

first or second revolution, and idles around 1400 rpm, but with an EGT

of

700 degrees at 4000 rpm, I'm pretty sure I'm running rich, plus I get

fuel

dripping out of my throttlebody upon shutdown, regardless if I shut down

by

turning off the injectors, or turning off the fuel pump, or turning off

the

ignition switch.  Thanks in advance for any helpful hints you may be

able to

share.  Paul Conner

Paul Connor,
Some of us who intend to use the Microtech also need to know any possible
problems - keep the info public !
