carusoam Posted April 6, 2023 Report Posted April 6, 2023 Getting service from JPI is always a hassle… But, if you hassle them properly… you can get some service out of them… See if @Marauder is flying by…. Best regards, -a- Quote
JayMatt Posted April 6, 2023 Report Posted April 6, 2023 Reading through all this has thoroughly convinced me that I don't want to install one of these myself. What's it cost to buy and have the 900 installed typically? Quote

jetdriven Posted April 6, 2023 Report Posted April 6, 2023 JPI doesn't really have a yellow arc for the oil pressure on the EDM 830, but I think the 900 has a yellow band so between 25 and 60 is yellow and then below 25 is red on the 900. Quote
0TreeLemur Posted April 26, 2023 Author Report Posted April 26, 2023 Got the plane back from the shop with JPI EDM900 installed. Went over last Saturday for a test flight and to help calibrate fuel senders. Before startup everything seemed to be working. All EGT and CHT's were about 70F. On first test flight the EGT probes on cyl 2 & 4 both read about 600 degrees F less than cyls 1 & 3! Weirdness. When I tested the lean find function, they responded normally when displayed in normalized view. Landed and they put two of the old EGT probes on those two cylinders and the problem disappeared! What are the odds of 2/4 new EGT probes being "bad"? I guess >0. They installed the new JPI shunt on the firewall in the engine compartment and left the original shunt in place. In fact they never saw the original shunt. It's in there somewhere in the vicinity of the avionics cooling fan, way in the back. Removing it would require a lot of disassembly. Everything works! 1 Quote
