Hi Folks,
New member here. Picked up a Viper 535 to play with. I'm based in Derby area.
I have pretty much everything i need to run the engine, i just have a few questions regarding instrumentation and control
First off: The HP Fuel Cock and the Throttle lever in the pictures don't appear to have any indication on them as to the open/closed positions. Or which one is which for that matter! Ive checked the version of the maintenance manual i have, but it doesn't offer any insights, just the general location of the levers and the BFCU. Anyone got any ideas? I'd rather not find out through trial and error!
Secondly: i've got a 3 wire 100% tacho gauge. My understanding is that it'll be obvious when dry motoring the engine if the wires are not connected correctly as it'll turn the wrong way, and i can just swap two of the wires over if this is the case. I also have a 3 wire oil pressure ratiometer indicator, and the following diagram from the manual:
Any idea on the connection from these 3 wires to the back of the oil pressure gauge?
Excited to join this community!
