Fuel Unporting
Hello all!
I have an infrequent problem with my Acrosport 2 that I can't seem to solve. Sometimes during rolls, inverted flight and some times spins the engine will quit. I always get it to start right back up after a few seconds. It seems like I usually have to change my throttle setting to get it to start again but that might just be a timing coincidence. I put a new flop tube in the tank late last year and started flying with my aux fuel pump always on and I thought I had it fixed. But then I was flying with a friend last week with a little less than 1/2 a tank and it quit twice on me. The fuel system seems clean. System: Inverted 13" flop tube system, 25 gallon tank, no header tank, Christian inverted oil system, Bendix fuel injector. Do you guys always fly with full fuel? Is unporting somewhat common on flop tube systems? Anything else I am missing? Thanks a million! Bob 232BS "Over Easy"
