Correction Speed was 180mph not 280 !!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Willie van der Walt" <touri...@intekom.co.za> To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 1:49 PM Subject: KR> Flat spot.....no power!
> During my flight to Tzaneen again yesterday I did a low level fly pass. I did not do a shoot-up. The speed went up to 280 mph so I pulled back on the throttle to keep the rev's below 3200. I pulled up and took power again but with full throttle the rpm stayed at 2200 and did not want to increase. I planed a low power landing but on short finals the speed was still high so I pulled the throttle closed. As I moved the throttle through 50% mark the revs came up again and everything was normal. It is like a flat spot. It happened during take off again when I took power and moved the throttle open it only went to 2200 and no more. I closed the throttle and re-opened it, then the rpm went up normal. What could cause this? The Limbach is fitted with a Marvel Shebler carburetor and I used carb heat on the decent. > > _______________________________________ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html >
