BME 50 on Wagstaff, Ignition Problems??
Has anyone else had a problem with their BME 50 in regards to starting? My first three flights were flawless, the engine started and ran perfectly. The plane then sat for a few weeks and when I went to start it, nothing. I replaced the plug, still nothing. After two hours of piddling around, it went to the basement where it sat all summer (working on other projects); I got it out last week and it started third flip, ran up, then when I idled down it stalled out (probably not warmed up yet). Then, it wouldn't start. I am beyond frustrated. I called C&H Ignition, and they are "closed due to health reasons and should reopen Monday, September 20." I was talking with a guy last night and he said a buddy of his had the exact same problem I am having.
I have a 4.8V 1700 mah ignition pack and am using a MPI switch w/ charge jack.
Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Lance
