Guys, during my last 5-6 flights, while shutting down the engine, twice it has reversed the direction & has turned 3-4 blades before stopping. Has anyone else had this experience & I wonder what is causing it & if there is damaged being done? I have flown about 60 hrs in this plane & this is the first time this has happened. I do run ethanol free auto fuel with occasional av gas & MMO. My shut down procedure is to run the engine up to 1600 rpm for about 15 secs, bring it to idle & turn off the mags. Should I be bringing the mixture to lean before shutting off the mags? This is a stock 285 HP engine, Thanks for any advice.

An important point I forgot, is that I do have the auto spark plug conversion.

Paul;

Since there is no idle cut-off system in the carb. ignition cut-out is the only method available. This is basically the same process that I recall from the days of C65’s, etc. but with the advantage at least of a CHT guage.

The process I use for the Huosai or the M14P is Fine pitch, 1500 RPM for exactly one minute (time and RPM could vary but should be the same at each shut-down to facilitate oil scavenge and give a reliable basis for measuring oil consumption), Prop lever to coarse pitch, Wait for min. RPM and max. MP, Throttle to idle, Check for CHT below 140 deg.C, Switch off.
The Chinese manual adds another action which was standard and absolutely necessary in the C65 days. That is : Throttle slowly to full Open with switch closure.

I think your problem is not enough cylinder cooling time. Whether auto plugs would be more prone to after fire I don’t know.

Hope that helps;
Walt

Thanks Walt, I pulled a plug (NGK BR5HS) & it looked black, but not oily or sooty.

Paul, Gary Gabbard (CJ N22YK) here, I have a suggestion on the kick back problem. What is the RPM when you have the throttle closed and the idle stabilizes? If it is a low idle speed you might adjust the idle RPM up a 100 RPM. I have had engines that would kick back on shut down. By adjusting the idle up a little higher it stopped. Reason is that if the throttle plate in the carb. throat is completely closed it will cause fuel to be drawn up the intake by the low pressure in the intake manifold. By adjusting the idle up a bit it leaves the throttle plate a bit open and reduces the suction of fuel up into the cyls. No fuel, no kick back. It is worth a try. Let us know how it goes. Gary

Also, The BR5HS plugs are one heat range hotter than the ones I supply
in the automotive conversion kit, which are BR6HS's. The hotter plugs
(BR5HS) may be contributing to the issue in combination with the auto
fuel. Here is an excellent video explaining what "hot spark plug" versus
"cold spark plug".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbR75wq9nmM

Try changing back to the BR6HS plugs and gap them at .020 and see if the
problem goes away.

Paul,

At Dennis' suggestion, I went in the opposite direction from the BR7HS to the BR6HS with a 0.020 gag and the engine performed noticeably better.

Guys, during my last 5-6 flights, while shutting down the engine,
twice it has reversed the direction & has turned 3-4 blades before
stopping. Has anyone else had this experience & I wonder what is
causing it & if there is damaged being done? I have flown about 60
hrs in this plane & this is the first time this has happened. I do
run ethanol free auto fuel with occasional av gas & MMO. My shut
down procedure is to run the engine up to 1600 rpm for about 15
secs, bring it to idle & turn off the mags. Should I be bringing
the mixture to lean before shutting off the mags? This is a stock
285 HP engine, Thanks for any advice.

Black and sooty does not necessarily mean the plugs are too cold. It can
be caused by the mixture being too rich. On the CJ you have the
additional benefit of a mixture control.

Dennis, I changed to the hotter plug because the originals looked
black & sooty. I will go back & see if that helps. Thanks.

Also, The BR5HS plugs are one heat range hotter than the ones I
supply in the automotive conversion kit, which are BR6HS's. The
hotter plugs (BR5HS) may be contributing to the issue in
combination with the auto fuel. Here is an excellent video
explaining what "hot spark plug" versus "cold spark plug".

Try changing back to the BR6HS plugs and gap them at .020 and see
if the problem goes away.

Paul;
Since there is no idle cut-off system in the carb. ignition
cut-out is the only method available. This is basically the
same process that I recall from the days of C65’s, etc. but
with the advantage at least of a CHT guage.
The process I use for the Huosai or the M14P is Fine pitch,
1500 RPM for exactly one minute (time and RPM could vary but
should be the same at each shut-down to facilitate oil
scavenge and give a reliable basis for measuring oil
consumption), Prop lever to coarse pitch, Wait for min. RPM
and max. MP, Throttle to idle, Check for CHT below 140 deg.C,
Switch off.
The Chinese manual adds another action which was standard and
absolutely necessary in the C65 days. That is : Throttle
slowly to full Open with switch closure.
I think your problem is not enough cylinder cooling time.
Whether auto plugs would be more prone to after fire I don’t know.
Hope that helps;
Walt

An important point I forgot, is that I do have the auto spark
plug conversion.

Guys, during my last 5-6 flights, while shutting down the engine,
twice it has reversed the direction & has turned 3-4 blades before
stopping. Has anyone else had this experience & I wonder what is
causing it & if there is damaged being done? I have flown about 60
hrs in this plane & this is the first time this has happened. I do
run ethanol free auto fuel with occasional av gas & MMO. My shut
down procedure is to run the engine up to 1600 rpm for about 15
secs, bring it to idle & turn off the mags. Should I be bringing
the mixture to lean before shutting off the mags? This is a stock
285 HP engine, Thanks for any advice.

Paul Lewis
