My fuel servo is coming back from the shop. I wish I better understood
how they work. One day my plane just stated running so rich that I could almost not keep the engine runnnig. I was pulling about 7GPH at 1500 (normal is about 3). However, if I shutdown and restarted it would run correctly about 10% of the time. So the fuel shop received it and noticed the FF was too high. They replaced a spring and got the flows in line. However, now I'm worried that they fixed the 90% case and not the 10% case (which was normal). If they replaced a spring with a lighter spring, how would that solve the issue? Why did this happen all of the sudden? Why isn't it consistant? My plane has been down for 3 weeks now and I fear I'll get the unit back and it won't work and I'll be down even longer (with a full FF overhaul). The fuel servo has 900 SFNEW. Is there an on-line diagram of a fuel servo? I'd like to better understand how the springs, diaphrams, etc work. I'm told there are only a few moving parts, but not sure what they are. -Robert, M20F |
