Trouble getting engine running right
Trying to get some stick time with my high wing trainer before I maiden My new Tiger 60.
I've been having trouble with this TTPro .36 for awhile.
I can hear it " breaking down" while flying half throttle.
Transition is rough. didnt idle well.
One of the guys at the field helped with the low end yesterday. He did a pinch test of the fuel line and we thought we had it running pretty well. Idles nice and low, transitioned well right up to full throttle
(probably turned in the low speed about 3/4 of a turn.) I had to leave the field yesterday so I went out today to test the new settings.
Started right up, nice low idle and ran smooth right up to WOT.
When I took off I could tell I had less power than usual. One of the guys behind me yelled out it sounded like it was "leaning out" I flew a couple laps but it wes breaking down in flight still so I landed.
It was suggested to "richen up" the high speed so I did but results were no better.
Its no fun flying with a bad running engine!
tunning this engine is the hardest part of flying...
Theres only two screws, you wouldnt think it would be so tough..
