914 turbo
My 914 has developed a small hesitation when accelerating to full power at around 100% throttle position. It doesn’t do it every time but often enough to be concerned.
Another thing that seemed to happen at the same time was that during startup the TCU/ servo cycles as normal but then sometimes appears to want to begin cycling again but only moves a very small amount and does this 6 or 7 times.
I have no idea if the two problems are related but would be keen to know if anyone has any ideas. I could start replacing various items TCU etc this would however be an expensive way to problem solve.
Again , I’m not sure if a problem I had on a recent X country trip may also be a piece of the puzzle. While away on a three week trip around Oz the engine suffered an intermittent problem where I could only get 35” of manifold pressure on takeoff which made for some pretty sketchy experiences. That problem seems to have fixed itself as it has not happened again in the past 50 flight hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
