How many hours on the engine? I did hear that of an ignition system on a Nimbus 4DM being destroyed by vibration in 17 engine running hours.

Thank you all for your input.

Both fuel pumps are pumping.
Checked the fuel, it is going to the carburettor.
Now checking the wiring / earthing.

I cannot find a wiring diagram of the ilec 252601, is there anyone that has one?

kind regards,
Grietje

Does it have an electric pump as well as one that runs on crankcase pressure pulses?


If you fly as a glider remmebr no relight and also you have the permanent extra weight of the engine compared to a normal glider version. Usually like about 50 to 60 Kg water you can't dump.

Not a problem!
When in doubt, take a tow and fly as if you are a glider.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Ventus 2cm engine issue

Hi,

I have got a ventus 2cm here that does not start.

Yesterday It started ok, short flight due to drink bottle problems in cockpit. Landed after 10 minutes, sorted out drinkbottle issue and tried a re start. Not succesful.

Today did not start, prop is turning normal, normal sound no ignition.

Changed spark plugs.
Plugs are still dry so fuel does not get there.

I am thinking vapour lock.
Any one with advise or experience, solutions?

Thanks in advance
Grietje
