RE: perry pump for OS 120 AX - does it help
Maybe one of you can help me out again . I have the perry on my edge with the .75ax and am still having problems . I sent this letter to O.S.(greatplanes support) and figured maybe one of you might have had the same issue .
Support,
I bought a .75ax and have had nothing but problems . I first tried to break in motor like the instructions say . It will not run at any high speed at a rich highspeed setting . I also have the .45ax . It will run rich . I fly around a little after I think it is running fine with a good transition . And it dies . I ended up tearing the whole bottom front end outa my Edge . I fixed it and decided to put a perry pump in it . I also put a new tank in it and wraped the tank and the box the tank fits in with foam . Now it will idle forever on the ground and go right to full throttle with no problem at all . I have gone full throttle and held the nose up and down , let it idle for 2 min. and nose up for a while and down and it works great . I then go to fly it and it works great for 5-7 min. and when I set up for a touch and go it dies when I lower the throttle . What the heck is going on . I have tried new plugs(#8os) and that doesn't help . Why before I put the perry on it won't let me run the throttle up when it is set rich on the top end ? Is something wrong with this motor ? One guy suggested I run a O.S. F-plug in it . Another guy thought the plug was going cold . I have never had these problems before and even got a better brand of fuel(powermaster 15%) . My other motors work fine so I know I'm not completly ignorant on tuning them . I have 2 Saito's , 2 O.S.'s and 1 Evolution . Help please .
If I can get it to quit dying it would be great . The plane flys awesome still , considering what I did to it on the earlier deadstick . Nice KE's and wicked tumbles . I'm really about to give up on OS motors. Just buying Saito's will be my next route .
edit; I failed to mention I still have over 3/4 of a tank left when I land it deadstick
