Well Guys, I want to thank every one that has given suggestions. It has been a real help and I did investigate every thought that was thrown out there and some of them several times. I have found nothing to date that would tell me why the engine quit. So I've decided to sell N357CJ to some poor unsuspecting sucker-- No No - just kidding. I flew this morning for a little over a half hour and I was not shy about putting it through her paces. I ran at full throttle with it leaned out and I ran at partial throttle settings. I dove , I climbed , I did hard turn reversals and just all around had a blast with the roller coaster style flying .The biggest change is the weather(humidity about 50% and 75 deg). I have adjusted the carb richer and all the temps were great this morning as well as exhaust temps. ( I now believe that exhaust temps on the ground are not accurate) The head temps stayed within 15 deg. of each other and the exhaust temps never got much more than 60 deg apart through the whole range. For now I'm calling N357CJ cured and fit for flight into sever VFR conditions. I did one long speed run and calculated true airspeed It worked out to 173.4 mph at full throttle. That put me closer to the west coast than KRA or KRB-(right Jonesy) Any way thanks all again and if you can't tell I am pretty happy again Thanks, Joe Horton On Fri, 4 Aug 2006 20:48:19 -0700 "George Harris" writes: > What's the latest Joe? > > - Original Message - > From: "Joseph H.

Guys, For the past week I have made some kind of adjustment, change or check in the engine compartment trying to find any source of a problem from my engine out 3 weeks ago. I have a small stumble that I can now get to happen when running on the ground. I did not have any hint of this problem before I started my annual inspection. So I have been concentrating on the things that I touched during the inspection. To recap a little the ignition has been completely checked out as well as the engine itself. This left fuel delivery and carb. The fuel lines where checked and flow was verified to be more than ample. I have about 4 hours of ground run and fast taxi test over the past week. I thought that I might have it licked yesterday so I tried a flight test. I tried to duplicate the flight take off from when the engine stopped. The temp and density altitude were almost the same. The run up and take off and the climb all went without the slightest hick up. I climbed to 8500 ft while circling the airport. (@ 800'/min) I circled for awhile and reduced throttle to 2750 rpm. About 20 min had gone by and not so much as a hint of a problem. I leveled out to the west an noticed that my indicated airspeed and ground speed were almost identical. This made me curious and distract to check true airspeed on the gps E6B calculator. I found that I was operating at a density altitude of 10500 and true airspeed was 139 mph at 2750 rpm. by now I was 10 to 12 miles to the west and I decided to go back to full throttle. I was leaned out during this time also. When I went to full throttle it started to sputter and spit and just plain act up. I went full rich (while turning back) That did not clear it. I reduced throttle and that did not return it to smooth. These were not sudden or panicked throttle changes. I moved the throttle slowly and methodically to try and figure it out and analyze what was going on with the instruments. The only instrument that gave me any clue was the mixture gauge which went to full lean with every sputter. I also tried switching back an forth the 2 ignition systems. That made no difference either. The last resort was to try carb heat. That did have an effect on it and the engine recovered in a matter of 5 to 10 seconds. The mixture gauge showed that it enriched the fuel to a normal level. I did not try full throttle the rest of the flight and I did try going back and forth with the carb heat. After the roughness stopped the carb heat just dropped the rpm but showed no other effect. As a side note the air temp at altitude was 59 deg. and I was at least 1000' above the haze layer(no visible moisture) This morning I took the fuel system apart again and flushed it out and check flow. I ground ran it for about 30 min again. I can get it to do the stumble on the ground now but the engine has to be completely up to normal operating temps. I.E. the oil has to be around 220 deg. and oil pressure is 35 to 38 psi. cylinder heads are all around 350 deg. The exhaust temps are the only other clue that I am finding something that I never had before. All my time before annual inspection at cruise I would set the mixture for the highest exhaust temp to be 1330 deg and they would all fall into a 20 to 30 deg range. Now at 1330 and all temps in the normal range the exhaust span while not get closer than 120 deg and I have to set it for more like 1300 even to stay out of the stumble problem. The way that I can get it to start the stumble problem on the ground is to lean it out. If I leave it full rich it does it only occasionally and with not set pattern or time between. It is also very brief like that too. Any thoughts or other information needed. Joe Horton, Coopersburg, Pa. joe.kr2s.buil...@juno.com

Joe, All I can tell you is that with the Ellison, I have exactly the same problem on the ground if I have leaned the engine. At full rich, I get smooth throttle from idle to full, but if I have leaned it, it stumbles badly when I push in the throttle.

Mine does the same thing when flying, but it's instantly apparent with the mixture meter (which both Dan and Joe also have now). And it's normal for an engine with no acceleration circuit to go lean when the throttle is advanced, but it should catch up shortly and run correctly, but that's not the case with my Ellison installation. But I don't really think that's it as Joe now knows exactly what's happening with the mixture. At the same time, I do think it's mixture related somehow. Mine is adjusted such that if I take off at full throttle, the mixture's perfect, but if I back off a little, it goes full rich and stays there until I fix it. And there's no way to adjust mixture at WOT as opposed to part throttle, as far as I can tell. The Ellison folks seemed to be bumfuzzled at this phenomenon, but then I'm running ram air, so shouldn't complain about funny behavior, and I've learned to work around it, even though it's clear it has nothing to do with ram air. For more on the mixture meter, see http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/o2meter/ and http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/fuel/ ...

Joe, I would just remember to push full rich before advancing throttle, or advance the throttle very slowly. Actually, by the time you converted to the Ellison, it would have cost you closer to $1000 unless you are already running pumps. From: "Joseph H.

The puzzle here is that Joe was having no trouble before the anual with his mixture. This started after he worked on it. I think Bill Clapp is running the same set up on his carb with no problems. For some reason it doesn't appear that you are getting enough fuel to the carb. Possibilities: fuel flow restriction-- trash/blockage ect... insuffecent vent --blockage or located in a neg or low pressure zone restricting fuel flow--don't think this is it as he can do it on the ramp linkage--check the mix control cable to see that is is secured correctly.
