RE: mvvs 1.60 gasser
I have some strange problem with my 1.60 MVVS engine. It is the old (silver) version with the old (cylindrical) ignition. I have been using it in my Protech Katana for several years without any problems.
The engine did not start when I intended to fly the plane in the spring, and never since then. It sometimes runs for a second or so, especially if I use a starting fluid.
I have replaced all fuel tubings and inspected the tank. I have bought new fresh gasoline. I have opened the carburettor. It draws gas normally when I put my finger over the carb, and the finger becomes wet after three flips or so.
The ignition seems to be OK, but I am not sure. The spark is visible, but does not seem to be very bright. I have no comparision so I can't tell.
I have tried about everything, but the engine will not run. Any suggestions?
