BME 44 Idle
Hi
I need some help. I have a bme 44cc that I can not run properly below 1800 rpms. I have read that I should not expect anything better for the first 4-5 gallons, so I think I can live with it. I adjusted it to fly with an idle around 1900 rpms, but when I set the gas down for landing, it tends to quit, in fact, I have two dead sticks close to the runway. I am getting nervous about this idle. The carburetor opening is inside the cowl, only the back part with the adjusting screws stick out a bit ( no so much). The engine runs great while in the air and on the ground, the problem is only when landing. So I richened the idle a bit, and set the "idle" at a little higher rpms , what else should I do? Is this situation normal during the breaking in of a bme engine ? Also, I set the plug“s gap at max allowed, so I am getting a good transition now, but missing some rpms at high end. ( around 6900 rpms mejzlick 20*10). BTW, I am new to gas, but following everything as per the manual.
THANK YOU.
