Hi Gotz. Thanks for taking an interest in my problem. My 150 was manufactured on 23rd January 2012. it is no:- 443. I was told the pulse generator has a Teflon ring on the piston. Mine has what appears to be a bronze ring & does not seal very well.
Do you think the electric pump will help my problem?
Thanks
Jim

Dear Jim,
Can you run the engine ''too rich on H'' at all?
If you (at the same moment, you might need assistance) close the vent line and add pressure to the fuel tank by for example connecting your fuelstation and pumping in gas, does the engines behaviour 9especially on full throttle) change for the better? It will NOT be perfect, but do you see a change? These are pump/fuel transportation related issues.
Do all of your cylinders fire? You can check by means of a temp. gun or checking for white puffs of smoke. There are not oil puffs, this is unignited fuel/gas mix.
best would be could you call in, Jim

The carb will set richer, although not by much. If I set it richer, I can fly the model for about a minute, before it stops. However, it has little power, as cyl number 3 stops firing (checked by temp gun).
This richer setting, running on the ground also eventually causes no 3 cyl to fail & this causes smoke puffing. If I lean it out, no 3 starts firing again, but quits on take off.
I will try some pressure to the vent line to see if it helps.
I ordered the electric pump a few days ago, so hopefully it will solve the problem.
