<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Well, I ran the YS engine I had trouble
with the other day and am reporting back with my findings.&nbsp; First, the
inspection and changes.&nbsp; I looked for cracks or splits in the o-rings and
saw none.&nbsp; I&nbsp;went back to flush on the pump (it was about 3/4 of a
turn out).&nbsp; After starting&nbsp;the engine&nbsp;and running on a high mid
throttle and back down to idle, I&nbsp;tweaked&nbsp;the pump&nbsp;slightly to
keep a good 2000 to 2200 idle.&nbsp; I left the high speed set where it was,
but after running at full power, I went to get the tach and&nbsp;the engine
would die abruptly.&nbsp; I decided to&nbsp;check the&nbsp;valve clearance and
reset it to .0015 to .0020 inches.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the valve cover was off, I
did a quick wet sand on the valve cover.&nbsp; Since I was out 2.25 turn on the
main needle (much further than any other DZ I have), I decided to simply turn
it in to 1.75 turns and see what would happen.&nbsp;&nbsp;I know for a good
controlled experiment, one should not alter more than one thing at a time,
but&nbsp;the engine&nbsp;seemed to work just fine now.&nbsp; High end power was
up to 7400 to 7500 RPM on an 18.1 X 10 prop from the 7200 (but rapidly sagging)
setting before.&nbsp; Richening the high setting slightly cause a slight drop
in RPM, so I&nbsp;left it at 1.75 out and double checked the idle and the
transition from idle to full power.&nbsp; Everything seems to work great, but I
will try it in the air on Sunday before feeling more comfortable.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
In summary, from the previous, issue free running of this engine in a Brio, I
made the following changes:<br>
&nbsp;<br>
1)&nbsp; Had a mid air and buried the engine nicely in a plowed field.<br>
2)&nbsp; Disassembled, inspected,&nbsp;cleaned, and reassembled the engine
(using klotz synthetic oil as a lube) and installed it into an Eclipse<br>
3)&nbsp; Used a 18.1 X 10 2 blade in place of the 15.5 X 12 4 blade<br>
4)&nbsp; Ran the engine on the ground to check its operation, all seemed normal<br>
5)&nbsp; Had one&nbsp;flight on&nbsp;the engine last weekend and on the second
flight, the&nbsp;dying at full power issue popped up.&nbsp; Admittedly, it was
a very humid day last weekend.<br>
6)&nbsp;&nbsp;Reset the pump to flush and checked the idle for a nice 2000-2200
run.&nbsp; The high power setting issue was still present.<br>
7)&nbsp; Reset valve clearance, sanded the valve cover, and reset the high
speed needle to 1.75 turns out.&nbsp; Problem solved!<br>
&nbsp;<br>
So, now for the educational questions:<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Could the high speed needle being so far out have cause the abrupt high speed
&quot;flame out&quot;?<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Does switching from a 2 blade from a 4 blade make a difference and why?<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Does the valve clearance being in the .003 range instead of the .000 to .002
(as recommended) make that much of a difference?<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Could an air leak cause this high speed flame out problem?<br>
&nbsp;<br>
I am interested to know so I can someday become the Troy Newman of the East
(maybe) for YS engines.&nbsp; I don't get a heck of a lot of flights per year,
so my statistical database is lacking.&nbsp; But that said, I did help two
people with their YS engine troubles at the Weak Signals contest so I must be
learning something!&nbsp; Thanks all for the help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
