Newbee needs engines 101
S! All
Greetings all and Salute! I've bought my trainer plane and while I await club membership and hopefully a fine trainer fellow, I thought I'd dive right in and learn how to fire-up the motor. I was given 2 TT .46 Pros that are missing a few parts here and I have no manual for them. I worked all night to make a engine testing platform and I just got her started and running for a few seconds (funny too because I got this big *****grin and that never happens when I start my lawn mower!)
I need to learn the proper starting, break-in, and carb setting for this motor. Please send help. I bought a book that stated to back out the needle 4 turns but she seemed to spit alot of fuel out the muffler and if I close the throttle all the way she quits..which I guess is proper but got me wondering how you setup the engine when it is in the plane to never quit but to idle smoothly. How do you stop the engine when on the ground but never have it go below idle in the air!? I know..I'm like a machine gun with questions-sorry.
Thanks ahead~ Ned.
