  • Page 106 When setting up your KE-4a, your handles and tachometers should be set as closely as possible. The way you do this is put the control in the neutral warm up mode (throttle only). With your control handles even, check your tach reading at idle then at 1/4 throttle, then at 3/4 throttle. The tachometer should read very close to the same on each engine at all three throttle ranges.
