nigel_d. Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The spark is difficult to see on a rad, if your sure the coil is no good you wont mind sticking your finger down the plug cap (just to be sure). Otherwise sorry cant help but try Radne or UKPPG. Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniwing2 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 HI NIGE engine is now running .how do i fine tune is it trial and error or prop off or just one turn on each screw .never thought i went to the meds bash i may even have spoken to you at some stage and not no it cheer,s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_d. Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The screw with the cone adjusts the throttle arm's idle position, it has no internal function. The other screw adjusts the low rpm mixture, it should be at about 1 and a half turns out as a starting point and then adjust an eighth turn at a time (trial and error, prop on) to get a compromise between smoothish tickover and immediate response when throttle opened. Screwed in will richen, - too far and tickover will be "chuggy", go too far the other way and tickover may be more "purring" but wont respond well to throttle increase. The main mixture is fixed by the size of the jet fitted. A carb kit would be a good idea if it is the original one thats fitted. Max RPM should peak around 9400. I didnt go to the fly-in, I hold my hand up as one of the undoubted many who was put off by the weather given the distance - I love a party with like minded people but if quality flying looks unlikely then there is only a certain distance I would go.
