Ran around all day thursday, no issues.
Friday came ran to Red Heads no problems.
Go do the run , idle out (10 minutes)and then idle for 15 minutes waiting on everyone to get in place.90* ambient, water 80* or so ..
The run starts , my heat soaked engines go into guardian mode because I set those parameters for lake michigan water and air temps not Loto.
Intake temps are 180* , I have it set to go into guardian mode at 170* and let me have full power once it drops to 140*
Would only allow me to do 2500rpm, I try and get water running thru the chillers at that RPM to cool the intake temps down but that didn`t work.
Second group left .. I`m like really?
Break out the Laptop , change temps to 200* and off we go , there was still a few people we could run with and maybe get some nice heli videos.
5 minutes later, Hit a cruiser wake and port engine dies upon landing , I`m like common!!! Would not restart .
Sit there a while trying to figure it out , had fuel, had air .. couldn`t figure it out....meanwhile we`re getting tossed around from all the wakes .....start limping towards the condo when I had a thought about the sudden impact maybe a wire fell off the coil relay.
Sure enough that was it.
Put ground wire back on relay and we were back in business.
Disappointed I didn`t get to run with everyone.. of course for the rest of our trip it didn`t skip a beat... standard.
