Hi Paul and All,
Finally got a test configuration together, Made 3 short 1-3 min runs.
Observations:
1. Engine was smooth at Est.1500 rpm.
2. Coolant flow was robust,Cooling adequate for continued tests.
3. Psru gets hot to touch, Return oil flow out, No endplay or lash?
4. Exhaust cherry red, paint on muffler burnt,
5. Sounds great, Like strong motorcycle per my Wife.
Concerns/Questions:
1. Edis-4 timing and tach hook-up?
Does one count the missing tooth on Edis 36-1 wheel as #1 of 9
for 10 degrees advance? I'm useing 1 coil #1 & #4 to fire the plugs?
2. The oil flow schematic in Mazda maint. manual seems to depict an
internal rear housing to front housing path that supplies the oil
injection pump.
I attached an oil press gauge to a fitting on the pump block of
plate, No oil press!
Engine E-Shaft lube was determined by the Psru return flow via .050
orface
on Prop end of the E-shaft.
Whats best place to monitor E-Shaft oil press?
3. Can anyone identify the source of Psru gears from the photo?
Best Regards & Merry Christmas
