HI
I have been reading every forum on rc on the bme 110x for the past 3 months very mixed bag some good some bad
I have imported the 110 and the 37% ultimate to OZ and have had nothing but trouble with my 110x.I was hoping to report good thing about this engine
It looked like a beast. The people that say they are tested before they leave the factory that is crap in my case anyway.
The first thing was the timing was it was set to 110dergs BTDC no way that would start.
Once we had set the timing to 27derg BTDC we got it started. No. 2 we started with the carby needle at factory settings
Petrol was dripping from the bottom of the carby at idle.
Keith said it is the diaphragm and it was. We finely got the idle running ok No. 3 then we move to the high end big problems here
The engine started to sag after 3 minutes of running. So we shut it down (lean run) so we adjusted the high a qtr turn out and tried again
After 3 minutes same thing. We ended up with the high out 3 and qtr turns out and still the same. After stripping another wooden prop that’s a other story. I noted that it felt slightly ruff when I turned the hub. I took the mufflers off and Now the pistons are scored.
This was all done on the ground test no cowl was on the aircraft and never got to fly. Dose anyone know how to tune an engine without running it?
Now the engine is sent back to Keith at my cost. It has been nearly 4 weeks Keith has had the engine Emailing Keith and waiting for a reply is like waiting for grass to grow. However, I got a reply this morning he said it is not covered by warranty and it is going to cost me $300.00 US for the repairs + shipping. I see what people say about the service now.(you live and learn)
I think if the engine were tested at the factory, I would not be having all these Problems. For those people how will ask what prop etc.
26.x10 3w
32:1 just for run in
Stock mufflers
Looking forward to reply’s from anyone.
