RE: DLE 30 Engine Missing
Hi, I took the plane to the field today and applied my new found knowledge on setting a fussy carb and I made a 75% improvement from my last writing, The biggest being the oil on the airframe. The burble/studder got 50% better on the stand, but it was too windy to fly,therefore i cannot comment on how it sounds in the air. PE was right about making very small corrections on the low end from the no transition point to a setting that transition will be smooth. With a warm engine it now took 2 or 3 flips before it would restart. The idle ran at 1860 to 1980 rpm's and transitioned well. with the 18 x 10 zoar prop, the engine would hold 7000 rpm's. Now comes the downside, I put the plane on the ground and the first time i tilted it, it quit. I richened the low a tiny amount and that helped, but running it down the runway, I would give it 30% throttle and as soon as the wheels lifted, I cut the throttle and 1/3 of the runs the engine quit. Does this mean when I land that it will quit after I landed 1/3 rd of the time and what should I do to fix this? Does this apply to the above comment about the problem that others are having or is it just me. There seems like there is not much for room for adjustment without making it so rich that it makes a mess on the plane, as per my first problem. I await my next instructions on what to do next. Thanks Bob
