Engine not running
|
|
|
| Last, rather short operation
ended up with dead engine before leaving the hoverport at all. |
| |
| After a week it was time to return and see what's wrong
with craft because it's not running. Weather was quite good for repairs
and even do a longer test drive but unfortunately never got that far. |
| |
| Still the engine would start perfectly, but would not run
more than few seconds at time. Added fuel, replaced spark plugs and checked
for air leaks but nothing helps. |
| |
| Finally decide to remove carburettor for complete cleaning
and check-up at carage conditions. Unfortunately Sunday was rainy and couldn't
get back with the cleaned carb to try it out. There was some dirt in there
and seems that blue silicone gasket used was either non compliat with fuel
or was otherwise defective since it still seemed rubbery and was too easily
removed when wiping with rag soaked in gasoline. |
| |
| Anyway plan is to go there this week, put everything back
and test it. It'll be day light until 23:00 or so that's no problem. |
