Hi guys,
I have encountered a few problems with my new UCD46 and I need someone's help.
first of all I bought a new saito 72 and had a tuning problem at the low end(idle).
after braking in the engine ,I have tried to tune both needles with out any luck.
when I taught I'm making a progress (the engine runs smooth)
I observed after a few flights that the engine Emmit's black oil ,traces were found on the muffler and on the l.e, a result of lean mixture. trying to fix it by opening both needles(not at the same time) got me were I started poor performance( the engine stalls at idle)
could some please tell me If I'm doing something wrong or does saito engines are
hard to tune?(my first saito).
the second problem is that I accidentally drilled my fuel tank but I have glowed it
with 5 min epoxy.( so far so good ),
on my fifth flight I had an engine cut, It seemed like I ran out of fuel.
I landed the UCD nice and easy refuel and planed to take off again when at a certain point I have noticed that fuel is leaking from the plane,
I stopped the engine and checked the fuel tank ,well its pretty obvious now,the fuel melted the epoxy ,creating a nice glowing pool inside my UCD.
well my question is does someone have any idea how to fix the fuel tank if possible and could the epoxy and fuel mixture Is the cause of my poor saito performance?
thanks in advanced.
