ORIGINAL: meps

Clearing the shut off valve fixed my problem. I ran the engine and it has unbelievable power. I'm getting 116,100rpms consistently. I have to do some adjusting because when I went from low throttle to 1/4 throttle, I got flames which tells me there's too much fuel being sent to the engine. I'm so happy now. I can't wait to fly my Mig29. Thanks for all of your help,
Steve
Hey Steve,
Great result, you may not have to adjust anything, do a normal TX range adjustment and then take the engine up to max rpm from idle slowly, then back down to idle slowly, do this a few times and take about 15-20 seconds each way..... it will give the ECU a chance to learn the new fuel pump requirements, after a few slow runs up and down, you'll be surprised at how well it behaves. Remember, the ECU was used to trying to pump a heap of fuel due to the blockage, once it learns the lower fuel requirements it should behave normally.

Cheers,
Smithy.
