is being pulled and engine acceleration in the higher gears is
slow.
3.
The least preferred method of checking maximum
engine fuel manifold pressure is the so called "snap" pressure
check method.
a.
The "snap" method is not as reliable as method 1 and
2 because the pressure reading is of very short duration.
Gauge inertia and/or the degree of throttle manipulation also
reduces the reliability of snap pressure readings.
b.
To take snap pressure readings, attach the ST435
pressure gauge at the shutdown valve in the usual manner.
