loss of rpm

Dan,

Does it rev fine out of gear and when you put it in gear it dies?

what would that point to scotty? mine does that occasionally?

if your high speed coils are fekked then it should rev up out of gear but when under load it wont. i assume it idles fine and low speed coils are o.k?

thats just low idle or to steep prop isn't it ?

A switch box breaking down! It sounds like its on six out of gear but it actually isnt its on three! When ya put it in gear Bluuuurrrggghhh! My 2.4 used to eat switch boxes!

nope, it sometimes takes ages for it to clear then is fine, i think it may have somfin to do with the top left carb, its chuckin fuel out back into the airbox at idle. think it may be a reed?

Check ya float level first if its doing that! When was the last time ya had em cleaned gav?

I reckon you're right!!!

Didn't know there was high speed and low speed coils???

er dunno! its only been run a few times since the engine was put together at Hutchy's

[scottyboy]

may have only been run a few times mate but it only takes a little bit of crap to stick the needle valve !

That was in response to gav saying it was a reed, but as I know nuffing about float levels then I guess there worth checking too!!!

Doh!

You were to quick for me!!!

I guess I should have qouted him, narmean !!!

I would have thought a reed valve fault would be there all the time to? If its the float level wrong it would cause it to do it at idle but not w.o.t! Unless the float level is set to low then it would lose power at w.o.t!

im sure there is. read about it a few times on S+F.

[scottyboy]

High speed and low speed windings in the stator! Primary and secondary windings in the coils!

no power loss at WOT, but my theory is whenever at idle the fuel is pouring into the airbox, when it fills to the lower carbs it floods as you try and increase revs? then clears once excess has been dragged through?

(from "GodSpeed" -motors dont rev past 2100 rpm when the stator goes bad the high speed coil goes on that and it will not rev up test the stator and i think you will find the cowprete
