Fuel meter
Posted by Ak Steve on Feb 21 2005

I think I am going to slap a fuel consumption meter on it this spring. I've noticed that the secondary opens at about 1400 RPM. My hunch is that I could save quite a bit on fuel if I was cruising with the secondary closed at lower RPM and lower speed. If I can find a cost effective way to play with props I might try that as well.
