I changed the spin on fuel filters and cranked the engine for a test run after 6 weeks of no use.
The engines runs good after 3 times cranking, probably waiting for the injection pump to bleed air out completely.
is the engine (supposed to be 2725E) considered natural aspirated? I followed the starting guidance for natural aspirated. For this kind of routine run just for the purpose to run the engine, how long do you keep it running? do you increase the RPM to say 1,800 or maintain idling?
it also say to move the speed control lever to mid-way for starting the engine in warm climate. is this practice really followed? or is it applicable to FL135?
