Vic from Base Leg Aviation diagnoses a rough idling engine on an RV-9. The culprit is potentially a heavy float in the carburetor causing a leak. The customer agrees to replace with a rebuilt carb. Then Vic shows how to adjust the idle, the throw and the idle rpm on the carburetor. He discusses the difference between the updraft carburetor in aircraft vs the downdraft carburetor in a car.

So happy to see this video. I usually pump about three times. Didn't know it was a waste. Will change my practice from here on. Thanks Vic!!!

Could you plz make a video removing and inspecting the fuel inlet filter of the carburetor.

@baselegaviation1614 3 месяца назад

will try to do that but it might be a while. there’s a picture of it on page 64 of my maintenance book. Just disconnect the fuel inlet line to the carb a then unscrew the remaining fitting and the filter will come right out.

Another good video Vic. What about us that have FI? How do we adjust those? I have the Bendix RSA-5 (IO360-MIB) First time with an FI system and I'm almost ready for first engine start. Also, off video topic but at 2:09 I see a battery that's not an Odyssey battery on the table. Universal batteries? Is it used in the RV? Do you have info or opinion on it?

@baselegaviation1614 Год назад

you need to look your specific FI servo, but basically they will be the same, with an adjustment screw to set idle rpm’s and then either a thumb screw (bendix) or mechanism (airflow performance) to adjust the idle mixture. I’ll try to video one the next time I have one available. As for the battery, I think it came out of the tug. I usually have a 12v battery on the bench for testing stuff. I only use Earthx or Odyssey batteries in the aircraft.
