Mpc1898 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi there Went to do my 1st flight with my new motor (was 2nd hand) started up after 3 pulls and left it ticking over for 5-10 mins, pulled the throttle to 50 % power and went fine tried it again 1 minute later and engine cut out took around 15 pulls to start her up again and any squeeze on the throttle she cut out again. Any ideas could the mixture be wrong ?? There was a few leeks of oil around the exshult springs is that any indication The motor is moster 185 plus And has 10 hours on the clock. Sorry if this is an easy answer but learning Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sounds like membrane in carb could be leeky.... wouldn't take much of a hole or crack to upset the metering. The membrane should be changed every year regardless of use. Its a very annoying problem when it happens, because just when you think it's ok- it will let you down again.
