G26 help
I have a new G26 with 3 16oz tanks of fuel through it. I am running a 16x8 prop. The engine starts and runs good.
After about 15 min of run time, it starts to sag and will not transition well and dies.
Any help would be appreciated.

RE: G26 help
mullinsc39,
I take it that this is on a test stand or the plane and you haven't flown it yet? With my experience these little gassers get pretty hot and they don't like it. Running the engine on the ground it doen't give the prop a chance to unload and you could be running it a little lean maybe. I have the Brillelli 26cc and had the 25cc and mine will not transition as well as it should if it gets to hot like on some of the hot muggy days we have had with the temp. at 102 and the humidty at 98%.
