[NSRCA-discussion] YS140DZ idle question

[Michael Cohen]

OK list, I have a question for you.  I have a 140DZ that will not idle below 2300ish RPM.  Richard Lindberg and I have adjusted the regulator, but it appears to have little or no effect.  I might be able to get one flight in, but eventually, on a down line, it will die and 7 dead sticks are not that fun to try.   Full power seems to hold just fine.  We figured there might be an air leak, and that is why it seemed to idle worse after a warm up flight, so I replaced the valve cover gasket and the other gaskets at the backplate, but that did not seam to make a difference.  Anybody got any ideas besides the usual OS/Webra/Mintor/E-power/power slope soaring comments?
