At what RPM are you doing the mag check ?

If at 4000 then , like some has said go for a plug but more like a plug cap as the resistor inside cracks, test by removing the cap and checking with a meter anything over 5.2K ohm and its a bin job.

I'm trying to find out about past builders experiences and if there is a jug to weld the fuselage tubing on lying anywhere?

Any one with any information or can help please contact me on 07564192 942

Thanks

Have you got it sorted ? Test run with the "P" or ignition kill wire disconnected at unit end, kill engine by turning fuel off and waiting. If this stops the nose re rout the kill wires away from any radio power or aerial wire . There is about 40 V AC in those wire when running and it will cause EM ...

Hobbs hours so long as it only registers when engine running as opposed to switching the power on ...............................

I have heard the Half penny Green has pulled UL 91 saying that it was too costly , at leicester at the AGM they said it cost more than 100 LL , Is this true and why ?

Jet stations near me are ethanol free at the moment ....................

I notice the half penny green has removed UL 91, I asked Chris at Turweston and he suggested that it was the price V volume was not worth there while. He also mentioned that lycomings from Turweston were experiancing better fuel consumption when using the UL 91 , can any one confirm this as this wou...

few answers to above points NEVER wash out the ethanol in affected fuel as this will lower the octance rating of the fuel by several points and then you risk destroying the engine. this goes for 2 or 4 stroke. UK "normal" fuel is the same a "super "in Europe were they have a lower grade as the base ...

Do you have carbon only or do you have Avgas deposites IE TEL deposits? If only on mogas , I use soap powder solution , @ 60 c and green scotch bright pads, should soften up . Never boil or leave unattended . Some use cif and green pads and hot water , works on 2 strokes.......... Never use abrasive...

Sound like the carb float valve is not seating , probably a bit of muck on the seat. Remove the float bowl and let some fuel flow through.If you have a squeeze bulb use this to flush the fuel through the carb. replace and try. If it persits then it may need stripping and cleaning but this trick norm...

If your eurostar is microlight no worries use the mogas.
Murco and jet stations around leicester are ethanol free FYI.

Place near and below the tank so it self primes , this will reduce any chance of vapour lock as it wont have to suck. 5 Amp curcuit breaker will cover the power and use a dedicated earth return to the battery.

As most tanks dont pick fuel up from the extream bottom this allows water to collect , now if the "unuseable fuel " is mainly water evemtually it could all flow to the gascolater ( during a rough flight, low fuel level etc) and fill it to the point that the engine only gets water.............. Drain...
