Default RE: Setting Idle Mixture ('Low Speed Needle')


ORIGINAL: gaRCfield

For the past year I've been adjusting my idle mixture based on transition from idle as per manufacturers instructions and what I've read on this forum. I recently had to learn how to work an air bleed adjustment on my YS, and the directions for that were to tune the mixture to maintain a steady idle RPM over a period of 15 to 20 seconds, and not based on transition or a fuel line pinch.

Could you explain this a little better for me?

Sorry, but I see no difference between what you were doing before and now, other than switching from idle needle to air bleed.

For some reason, many members are not aware of the engine forums.
May be showing a link within RC Airplanes forums would help?

There are also very interesting forums about full scale airplanes, batteries, radio systems, unusual models and video and photograph here in RCU.
