[NSRCA-discussion] OS 140RX Need Help

[Ed Alt]

I would disconnect it to avoid flushing gunk into the spray bar.

When injecting alcohol into the inlet, do I disconnect the fuel line to the
carb or let it flush through the carb with the HS needle removed.Does it
matter?

I am assuming this engine has sat for awhile. try injecting some straight
methanol into the pump inlet line just in case the oil in the pump is
congealed. denatured alchohol will work fine for this. 

Do not take the pump off the backplate thinking you can clean it out. Bad
stuff will happen as the backplate is part of the pump you may or may not
even be able to put it back together. 

Also try a OS F plug or the YS 4 stroke plug. never had any luck with the A5
plug that came with it. 

Another thought is check the needle valve against a OS61FX if the needle
valve looks the same you are okay. If the needle taper part is different try
the 61FX needle valve. It may already be in the engine as it comes with the
engine as a optional part. 

If all else fails try replacing the rear bearing.

I'm trying to get a plane going to make the Quincy , OH contest next
weekend.

 

When running at idle or the engine isn't running, fuel leaks out of the
carb. I can get it started, but loads up in about ten seconds and bogs down
and dies when increasing the throttle.

 

If I pinch the fuel line, it leans out and recovers. As long as I stay near
full throttle it's fine.When at half throttle and lower it will bog down..

 

HS needle is at about 1-3/4 out leaned from about 2 turns out. I don't know
the pump settings.

 

This is a used engine already installed in a plane.

 

Is it just a matter of the pump pressure being too high or do I have other
problems to deal with.???
