Default RE: GMS Engine Tuning Problem

ORIGINAL: Flyboy Dave

The clearance on my spraybar is about .008 or so at WOT, so it is quite
clear....the low speed setting cannot effect the amount of fuel coming
out of the nozzle in any way shape or form. You can argue that it it does,
but clearly it doesn't.

I have to wonder if this poster has read any of the preceding posts in this thread at all.

As everyone else reading this thread knows, JDW is not dreaming up a theory - he (and now others) has done a practical demonstration that proves that changing the idle needle setting can dramatically affect the high speed setting at WOT. This is not a theory; it is easily demonstrable.

So this one's just for you Flyboy Dave: "The WOT high speed setting on the GMS is affected by the position of the idle needle relative to the spraybar. This is not theory, wildarse guessing or navel gazing; it's an easily demonstrated fact. Try it one day".

BTW, any contribution from Flyboy Dave on "venturi effect" should be tempered by this gem I found earlier in this very thread:

....no sir....I have never heard of the man....(Bernoulli)....did he invent something
special ? And yes....I have been flying r/c for 35 years, and have NEVER heard
of the man.
Go Dave!
