Observations at first engine start

1. Oil pressure not registering. Fixed by adding ground to oil pressure sensor and Dynon now showing zero oil pressure (engine not running)
2. Engine cuts out when adding throttle to increase rpm. John Marzulli suggests that may be fuel starvation becuse temp fuel tank below level of fuel pump. Next start will keep electric fuel pump on after fuel system primed
3. Hobbs not registering time.  Fixed by connecting Hobbs to oil pressure switch. Tested by shorting between sensor terminals and Hobbs now sucessfully clicks away
4. RPM shows 1057 rpm. Cutout prevents additional revs (see 2 above)
5. Both left and right EGT show 500 degrees F which seems good
6. CHT shows 190 degrees F which could be OK as engine did not run for long
