Default RE: First Inverted Engine.

Hi Fredrik,

Thanks much for the response. I just tried your suggestion of starting the engine with the plane inverted (engine right side up). The engine started right up six out of six times, idled at 2800rpm and throttled up to 13800 rpm. Each time I tried to turn the plane over, the engine stopped as soon as the plane was sideways. I also verified that the klunk line was the line going to the engine via the kwik-fill fueling valve.

Will continue trying...

Thanks again,

Rick
