3w RUNNING BAD WHEN ROLLING AND K.E SOLUTION


tried tweaking the needles this way and that.............NO DRAMATIC CHANGE EITHER WAY

tried running the carb diaphram air line back into the fuz................NO CHANGE WHATSOEVER

took the snorkel/trumpet off the carb .......retuned like I would with any other engine..............
RUNS PERFECT IN EVERY ATTITUDE WITH MORE POWER THAN IT EVER HAS.

Perofrmance is slightly more than my DA100 which has around 20 gallons thru it and this was the 3w on gallon 2.

JUST POSTING WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IN THE HOPE IT MIGHT HELP SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS HAVING GRIEF


kindest regards, IanB

Gee, I had the running problems without the snorkel - tried with the diaphragm vented to the fuselage. Added the snorkel and retuned the engine and now it's fine. But, mine wasn't a QS.
