Now I'm really confused. I managed to get into the other wingtip, and found the same... check valve rolling around and line disconnected. I am told that blowing into the lines can do that. I dont recall if we removed the caps when we did that. If we didnt, then my bad. No header tank here. No...

Not sure if I stumbled onto the culprit. While waiting for a new fuel pump to arrive (just in case it WAS a bad pump), I continued my search. When blowing air into the vent at the tips, all I could hear was air exiting very close to the vents themselves... no bubbles or noise in the tanks...

Yes and no. Its not that specific one above... its an original legacy system. It has one ECI unit with two coils. I've been in touch with them, and they say it either works, or doesnt work. I cant argue that one. Runups are as usual. I'm now thinking this is a fuel issue somewhere.... maybe a...

Wow... thanks for the pics... and i had to chuckle... maybe i AM hiring the wrong person to fix this.. need an exterminator! LOL. This machine was in the Atlanta area for a few years before it came up to the tundra of the upper midwest. Hot and humid down there. Always hangared. But clearly...

I appreciate all the comments and feedback!

I am going to send the EFII unit back for bench testing. But interestingly, when we removed the carburetor, my mechanic commented that fuel wasnt coming out of the fuel line (to carb) maybe as strong as it should have been... which leads me to think of something being restricted further up the...

Fuel pump and EFII are next on the list. We only have the engine driven fuel pump. I doubted carb ice… but carb fuel floats have been known to be cranky. I am gonna take a very close look inside tanks… debris that we can’t see?

Hello all. I recently purchased a Glastar with a Lyc O-320 (100hrs since OH) and M/S carburetor. Brought it home without incident. It has a FlyEFII legacy electronic ignition running two coils. About 3 weeks ago, I was out for a routine ride at 3500ft, and engine power suddenly and quickly...

Old dogs dont change very fast (me, that is). But I'm thrilled to have input from so many experienced flyers.... that's the reason i joined and posted here. Ideas and thoughts from knowledegable folks is THE best. Thanks.

The monitor just came back from JPI 2-3 months ago, as again, it had a motherboard that went bonkers. Repaired and updated. Y'all are correct, tho... wiring and connectors remain the same. Thinking about the possible endless enjoyment of getting under the panel (Glasair panels = the need for...

Waiting to hear back from JPI. I think it's odd that all 8 probes would be affected (4 CHT's and 4 EGT's). Yes, I have GAMIjectors, and recently cleaned them the proper way. I remember after install years ago, engine ran smoother. No muffler.... so no exhaust departure concerns.

I would run 40-50 degrees ROP over the years, and FF would be about 10.1-10.3 GPH. At one point, I was "chastised" because 10gph in cruise in an IO-360 was possibly using too much fuel. Engine smoothness was found at that spot... otherwise, anything less caused rough running/vibration. A...

Thanks, folks, for the comments. Mixture related.... as far as I know, this was checked. Fuel flow was checked. New fuel servo installed. Plugs all in good shape. Odd, tho, that all cylinders would increase over time, rather than 1 or 2 fouled plugs AND plug changes over time. Temp readings...

Howdy all. Glasair driver here... Lycoming IO-360 B1A. 800 since O/H. Bendix mag on the left, Lightspeed EI (Hall module) on the right. I have an interesting dilemma that is confusing numerous mechanics. For many years, my engine ran fine... EGT's around the 1370/1380's, and CHT's in the 380's...
