BT64EI settings
 

Bax:

Have 64EI in 1/3 Albatross and we can't get it set right following the manual. Running a Zinger 24X8 wood prop [:o]and getting 6000 max. The problem is rapid acceleration. If we idle less than 2300, it dies on rapid throttle increase. Yet it will idle nicely at 1600. Read one post you did on the 43 and you refer to settings to start that are twice those in manual. Is this true of 64 also? We are going nuts trying to set this engine, having stayed withing the range specified by the manual. Has about 1 hr running time on it.

HELP!!

Thank you.

Try the settings we mentioned. They are good starting points, and you go from there. Sometimes, the engine gets set too lean, and that can cause a bunch of problems, even though the engine will still run.

Thanks Bax - we'll try twice the settings in the manual and work our way in. I'll get back if that doesn't work. However, which controls transition from low to high the most - the H or L needle?

Low needle works up to about 1/2 to 3/2 throttle, then the high takes over.
