[NSRCA-discussion] 160/170 starting procedures

[Peter Pennisi]

Nath,
 
This situation is fairly normal with some DZ engines. I am not sure what
your fuel setup is on your model but what I do to get around this problem is
seal up the overflow line after the tank has been filled and then pump
another 1-2 cranks of fuel into your tank (depending on your fuel pump) so
that there is positive pressure in your tank. Pinch the fuel line and
reconnect back to model. The positive pressure will force fuel into the pump
and viola it starts. This process is only required on the first start of the
day.

I have had a little luck with my first ys 160 engine.

Trust the starting procedures that you have heard so far but a lot is just
getting to know the engine by trial and error!

I know i had no worries for first 20 flights but have since had trouble
getting the fuel through on the first start of the day. Its almost as if the
pump is having trouble drawing fuel from the tank for the first time that
day....

Not to sure how to fix this and am still trying to work out a solution.

Good luck with it anyhow!

Nath
