I've
been having fuel flow problems on one side for a while.
Runup
would give me full static on either pump. I take off on
both.
Some
time later in the flight here's what happens:
I'm be running on left pump only
I increase throttle to climb
mixture goes off the scale lean
engine falters
I switch on the right pump (which feeds from a
separate tank), mixture comes back up and engine runs
normally.
I have
the small Earl's in-line filters with the conical (brass?) filter blocks. They
always "look" clean when I take them apart, but yesterday I tried blowing
through them. They were very restrictive, especially the left one. After I clean
them with high pressure air they flow much better, but I'm beginning to think
these filters are not good for our purpose. They're too small and too easily
blocked. Additionally there's no nut on the center section so they're hard to
get apart at both ends.
I
think I'll get larger canister type filters with a drain like Buly's. Buly
- where did you get those? Got a part number?
Anyone
else have a filter part number they can suggest?
