RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

RCIgnition, so does that mean I can order the replacement part, just pull out the old one and push in the new at the right angle? Does it need to be glued or something, will it just push in; i.e.,...

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

Well, I guess it's time I posted here. I had another incognito thread running on my SAP problem until I emailed MsgtRob and found we both had the exact same problem - a spun hub. And thanks for the...

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

Thanks Todd. I didn't state it very well. My comments were directed toward flipping the engine with the ignition on AND trying to manually hold the choke closed; a very unsafe process at best.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

On my plane the choke rod is a 2-56 pushrod running out through the bottom of the fuselage. I drilled a very small small hole just big enough for the rod. When I pull the choke closed there is just...

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

I believe that in the end Todd is eventually going to have to go with a different version of the Walbro carb. I haven't raised the issue with him yet; but originally I thought I really like the...

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

I have about a gallon and a half through the SAP180 now. The 30cc engine is really easy on the gas, runs forever on 16 oz. I would say things really started to settle down after a gallon. The idle...

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

Cap,

I apologize [sm=confused_smile.gif], it was a slow Friday night. I asked Todd specifically about the baffles. As stated above someplace, they reduce the sound about 5-6 decibals; with no...

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

The baffles are a newly developed performance option. The interior tapered wall causes the exhaust gas to compress as it exits. This compression reduces side wall pressure thus effectively helping...

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA

Andy, I think the airflow is relates to that 1:3 in-out ration. I screwed up just a bit and made my front cutout too big, or at least bigger than it needed to be. You got nice clean small holes...
