I also ordered a TMX-IO360 (injected parallel valve 180 HP) from Mattituck
with the constant speed package. But, when I ordered it I told them I was
going to mount a fixed pitch prop for early flights and to set the engine up
for FP before shipping it to me. So, they put a cap over the governor
opening and included the governor drive assembly in the shipping box in a
plastic bag. The aforementioned metal pipe was also in the shipping box and
not installed on the engine. The tapped hole at the front of the crankcase
had a pipe plug installed. All I had to do was mount the FP prop and I was
ready to go, no crank plug disassembly or piercing required. They also
included a new crank plug in the event that I decide to switch over to
constant speed (after 4 years of fun, probably not.
I will be curious to hear about how your setup (with the light Catto and
fuel injection) idles after warm up. I originally had a wood prop on and
the engine did not want to idle very well after warm up. Not a problem with
the Sensenich metal prop that I have now because it has sufficient mass/
inertia to keep the engine turning over, leaning on the ground also helps
keep it happy. Best of luck, you're gonna love it!
