Idle on 912
in General Tech Discussion
8 years ago
Our EAA Tech set the idle on my RV-12 with the vacuum gage. He has done a number of them previously, and I feel confident he did it correctly.
However, I have had three occasions, so far, where the engine stopped when I pulled the throttle to idle. All three times it has been on the ground.
Once outside my hangar at an early start and run, I was ready to shut down, pulled the throttle to idle and turned off one of the ignitions. Twice it occurred after landing and roll out. Instant restart with key start.....
My EAA Tech says I bent the carburetor by pulling too hard to idle.....I don't think so. Is there a test or measurement to confirm the carburetor has been bent?
I think the idle should be reset to a little hight RPM.
