[NSRCA-discussion] YS 160 problem

[Lawrence Odom]

Make sure you check the valve cover gasket and all the o-rings are seated properly.  Since you replaced the piston ring you could have a gasket or o-ring not sealing correct.  This happened to me on a 160 and if there are any leaks anywhere on that engine it will run the way you describe.

  The engine has been running well after replacing the piston ring.  Got a good compression.  I flew 20 flights before starting to have problems.  Here is what happen: The engine started to die sometimes when on ground when giving a little power.  This engine never die before.  I replaced the glow plug with no change.  I also try to adjust the pump with no change.  Finally, the engine always die when trying to accelerate so I can not use it anymore.  



  I am thinking that could be the pump or bearing but not sure.  Any suggestions to fix it welcome.  



  Thanks,
