Default sick 91AC

Hi Dave,

a friend of mine has a 91AC which has run beautifully over the last few years. However, recently it has started hesitating at mid throttle. It seems to stop firing for 1/4 - 1/2 second every two to three seconds as though it is losing fuel pressure or glow.

We have between us tried pretty much everything in the book - new plug, new diaphragm, new gaskets, new fuel of various nitro levels (we are using Wildcat fuels between 15% and 30% nitro) and have stipped it down several times to look for blockages but it is spotless inside.

The fuel system has been checked out with new lines and the one way valve has been cleaned - it will hold pressure over night so there doesn't appear to be a problem there.

We have also tried adjusting the regulator in and out about 2 turns (!!) either side of flush and nothing seems to make any difference.

We are all out of ideas - do you have any thoughts?

thanks very much.

James
