Is anyone out there using onboard glow on their YS? I have a 140 sport that has 1 gallon through it. I know it's still breaking in. At first it was mounted upright on a break in table, and it was spitting fuel badly. But it was rich and that's what I wanted. As the gallon got used up, I slowly adjusted the regulator in until the dripping pretty much stopped, and the transition is good. But I still think it's a bit rich on the regulator because when I put it at about 4000, it will get rich and lose RPM's. But the regulator is only about 1/2 to 3/4 turns OUT from dead bottom. I'm afraid to lean it anymore.
The idle isn't very consistent. I can get it down to around 2000, and sometimes it will idle pretty much forever without loading up. However, twice on final (since mounting and flying) it has died on me. Once I restart it, it runs great and idles fine. But I don't feel like it's a very reliable idle right now. I was wondering if onboard glow would make the idle more reliable, or is it a break-in tuning issue?
For what it's worth, the engine is mounted on it's side in a 10.2 lb ultimate. After flying, the engine is hot, but not scalding hot. I always touch the head after landing to make sure it isn't getting too hot, and it's not.
Maybe the regulator needs to be cleaned???
