RE: OS 140RX Need Help
Thanks Arch...I pushed some Denatured Alcohol through the pump and it seemed to clear that up quite a bit...If I let it sit it will drip a little now and not at all at idle. So that seems to be under control...
Now it idles very well and I can adjust top end. I'm getting about 7,900 on a 4 bladed prop 15.5x12 APC w/ PM Mean Green (15% w/ 18% all synthetic oil).
However, once it idles for any length of time or even 1/2 throttle, it will bog down and quite as soon as I start to advance the throttle. If I pinch the fuel tube it will pick up and run. If I go high then low and back to high throttle without too much delay it transitions well. If I'm at idle for about the same time as stall turn down line (2 or 3 seconds) it will bog down...
This is what I'm assuming everyone has keyed in on as the symptom of a main bearing going bad...
Off to surgery...now I get to see what the inside of a 140RX looks like...
Again, Thanks for all the help....
