Hi

sorry to bring this post back up again

I now have the problem with the pulley system mostly sorted out. (It is not as good as the Bailey frame , but good enough)

I have no problems anymore with starting the engine from cold, with the engine on my back.

I still sometimes have a problem when starting it once the engine is warm. What happens is, when I pull it feels like the engine fires and then rip the pull chord back, and then stops, this will then keep on happening and I then have to start it on the ground. Has someone experieced this problem? or know what might be the cause?

Other than this problem, I'm very happy with the Bailey engine and would buy one again.

I have the very same symptoms. Most of the time I have to get a mate to try and start the thing but even then they have problems.

Hi

Are there any Bailey v5 owners who are able to pull start the engine while in the harness? I have arms like a baboon but just can't start it while in the harness, even when the engine is warmed up. I follow the manual starting recommendations to the letter.

With the engine on the ground it will take between 5 and 8 pulls to start when cold and 4 - 6 when warm. I use the recommended oil and 98 octane petrol.

Someone suggested the that pull cord is to long?

I've had problems starting my V5 from new. I'm miffed....I dreadhaving an engine stall.

When I first got the thing I couldn't start it at all...There was a gremlin which fixed itself.

I'm very disapointed however once it's running it's great and very economical.

I think the carb needs to be finely tuned.

Hello all.

I started in July 12 and have got about 40 hours in.

Needless to say I love it but I fly on my lonesome.

Anyone interested in having a flying bud in the area?

Also I'm interested in flying in new places...

Can't wait for some decent weather!!!!!!
