RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf
A wise decision. WX looks good here for the next couple of days. Hope it's flyable for you too.
Ifinally got the Yak engine starting and running OK but, the lowest idle I can maintain is 2200 rpm. Lower than that and she dies after about a minute. I think she's loading up at idle.
The high speed RPMis about 8650 with a 15x8 wood prop and the needle set almost 1.5 turns out. Low end needle is set about 1.3 turns out and Ithink it needs to be leaned out more. The plug still looks black when I pull it to check and she's still 4 stroking at the low end. However, without a temp gauge, I'm afraid to lean it out more.
This is the darndest thing I've run in to so far with these gassers. Maybe this one needs a new carb too? Hopefully it just needs a needle adjustment but, Ineed to get the gauge to set it with.
As the old saying goes ...you get what you pay for. I don't think I'll be looking at any "bargain" engines in the future.
