I will try this weekend with fresh fuel to see if there any improvements...

It is possible the fuel is contaminated with algae or similar. I remember a few years ago when flying with Todd (Dreamworks) everytime he started the take off roll, pop pop then flame out. Turned out to be bad fuel.

Also, we only require 2.5% oil ratio for mix. The Bee may be sensitive to 5% if this is what you are using.

You said it was recently serviced. Which of our facilities performed the service? Did you receive a document of what was done? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric

Still backfire at idle....

Clogged injector will do something similar?

Status: offline 		I used to have a Jetcentral Turboprop that is based on the same turbine. Mine did make the same noise at idle but it would stopped as soon as soon as I would move the throttle. The hotter the day, the more noise (if you could call it that way...) it would make. Don't recall having that noise on winter days.

Status: offline 		That is true, as soon as i exceed around 100k , it doesn't make it anymore....

But the strange thing is that my other Bee or even all my others JC had never done that...??
