Fuel Starvation, no apparent cause!
Hello all.
I have a 912UL on a Skyranger I finished building earlier this year. I flew approximately 30 hours on it without any problems. It was then noticed that the port carb was flooding and on inspection that the float valve was not seating correctly and shutting off the fuel when it should. This was re seated. Ever since then, starting immediately, I have intermittent loss of power when on full throttle. At the point where the power loss occurs I have shut down quickly and found that the fuel level in the port carb is very low, the starboard bowl is full. The port carb has been stripped down and inspected by a proffesional and no fault found but still the problem persists!
The fuel pressure has been checked and a fuel flow test carried out.
I am now thinking that the float valve is intermittently sticking closed and causing the problem but I'm by no means sure. I would appreciate peoples thoughts on this please.
Thank you.
