Hello gang,
A about 2 weeks ago I reported a request for suggestions on a engine problem I had experenced. I sort of thought is was fuel related. Here is what it did. I replaced the pulse pump with a new one, replaced the fuel filter, installed a 3 amp battery, new key west regulator, elecl fuel pump plumbed in series. Did away with the primer bulb and bypass. I also installed new plug wires even thou the mags checked out ok....they seemed to be quite old. So here is the results....engine starts better than ever. elec fuel pump works excellent for filling carb. bowls. I use a primer for getting some gas into the engine..I have pull start. After starting I run engine with elec. fuel pump off to make sure pulse pump is working and on take off I also use elec. pump ..when i got about 1000 feet agl i turn off elec pump and she keeps running just fine....have put about 3 hours on engine with no hicups...Life is good, flew up to a fly in last Sat at Purdy field here in Michigan. ....some of the other Kolb guys were there, Rick Nielson with his Mk lll with the VW engine on it....Steve Spence with his new MK3X that has a 100hp rotax....a very nice Kolb....and looks to me like Steve is a good pilot, he sure is a lot of fun to talk planes with. At any rate we had a good time and Rick flew formation with me part of the way home...I am a bit slow for his plane however. Thanks again for all the suggestions you guys to good...
