912ULS min Run-up temp issue
Manual states Oil Temp shall be min. of 122 degrees F.
I live in Northern Colorado. In the summer time, it takes about 10 minutes with about half the OIL Grill duct taped.
In the winter, I have well over 3/4 the grill duct taped and it is taking about 25 minutes to get above 100 degrees. Outside temp has been in mid 30s to 40 degrees F.
I figure with the engine running for almost a half hour, that at 100+ degrees it is safe to Run-up to 4000 RPMs for 2 minute Ignition check.
As soon as I'm at Pattern Altitude, the Oil temp is reading between 170 & 180 degrees.
Now that I've done this twice in the past month, I'd like to hear from other owner's, especially living in the north, what their experience is.
