engine runup

Post by n454mw »

Hi, I have a question about the engine and accessories ground test section of the manual. It says on page 125, line number 2 of the table that the suction gauge should read 4 inches of vacuum. Does that mean that 4 inches is a minimum or should it read 4 inches exactly. I read here on the forums somewhere that in order to get the FE to do the engine checks it should read 4 inches but I've never been able to get it to move below about 5 and a quarter inches. What am I missing?
Thanks Mark
