I purchased and installed the FlightDEK-D180, wiring harnes, and Rotax engine monitoring kit. I was unable to start the engine and found the fuel flow transducer was not allowing any gas through.
The aircraft is a high wing CH701, and the transducer is installed between a Facet electric pump and the Rotax mechanical pump. It is using the Black/Yellow/Red twisted triple from the EMS harness. The K-value was set per the installation manual.
I removed the transducer and was then able to proceed with first start of the engine.
I later found that I was unable to blow air through the transducer with the power off--I haven't tried this with power on.
Should the transducer restrict gas flow with power off??? This doesn't sound safe.
Thanks,
Jeff
