alan_k Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 ...or so I thought. The Prissac strip has a number of moles creating lots of little mole hills. The mole exterminator is visiting on Friday and is going to gas the little beggars. It turns out the gas he is going to use is quite dangerous so the strip will be out of bounds for 5 days I went to the strip this afternoon, conditions have been great, did all the usual pre-flight checks, warm up and full power checks, lovely take off and 'THWOCK' at 20 feet and no power I landed without incident still within the confines of the field, gathered all the kit together then checked out the motor. Spark plug fine, fuel fine, nothing dropped off or rattles Tried starting and it seems like it's backfiring. Oh well I've got a few days to look at it at least Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Turns out it's a fractured Lucar connector on the ignition coil. I thought I had contained the 'T' connector for the 3 Lucar connectors sufficiently against vibration, evidently not. I've done a proper job now with a rubber boot so nothing can move Now the moles have really stopped play for 5 days. Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
