All that and no difference, did notice at 5000 revs when I done a mag check the engine didn’t like it , both the same , pulled the plugs and were all very black , swapped them with new ones about to try again and thought maybe check the air filter which is mounted in the bottom cowl , easy to overlook, caked solid and beyond cleaning as it would fall to bits, after much driving found found a good enough replacement at the fendt dealer , fingers crossed will fly again tonight, looks like I may overthought the problem again.

Found the needle clip out on one carby, right hand carby should run one notch lower to make it a bit richer something to do with the boost favoring the side, they were both the same, but noticed when I advance the throttle one side gets ahead of the other , they both finish against the stops , not sure what’s going on , have set them up with a carb mate not easy with the spinning prop , bit hot and windy to test maybe later

Okay, I’ll have to pick up my act, rather than write a novel I thought I would keep it to the point

Rough running engine between 4800/5200 , new throttle cables , Carbys done, balance good , runs fine either side of those revs,

I’m starting to wish I hadn’t asked the question
-
I just took it off , looks like it wasn’t worth the trouble, thanks for all the input
-
Agreed, but I noticed when waiting to enter the active runway and checking for incoming aircraft the ones with their landing lights on seem to stand out more
-
Ok thanks I’ll get onto it
-
Just fitted a led to my landing leg, super bright, been a couple of midair’s so I figured it might help on final, trouble is it drowns out the radio , any way I can make it work, wired it to the nav lights

Trying to figure out what the idle gear on the starter shaft drives in a 912 , I think I understand how the sprag clutch works
-
Wondering where I stand legally
-
Wondering what’s involved in flying with a engine that has passed TBO, 914 engine in my plane has got 200 hours left , compression hasn’t changed , no more oil consumption, have flown it from 400 hrs to nearly 1800 , $45000.00 to replace it
-
Maybe just leave the hinge exposed
-
Thinking of taping up the gaps in front of the ailerons, is it worth doing and what tape would be best, I thought it might kill a bit of drag which I read somewhere
-
Having trouble getting plug caps for 912, apparently ngk aren’t supplying, any ideas.

Anyone with info on blue water park strip north west of Townsville, I heard the operator could be hard to get on with , planning on a trip to Townsville looks like a handy strip to where I was going to stay

Insurance went from $2500. To $3700. After a claim for $8000 For my Sabre valued at $60,000 QBE , is it possible to do any better, considering dropping it
-
Just noticed on a post on Facebook about a 24 rego Tecnam landing at Gold Coast, I asked the question and was told they had a transponder and submitted a flight plan and unless you have CTA experience it should not be done , is this legal , Greg
-
Have you ever been asked to produce an asic at any airport,
-
I guess leave it turned off, seems like another waste of money, bit like asic
-
Any truth in the rumour that we have to fit transponders in our raa aircraft in the near future
-
Without the indicator I haven’t got a clue where it’s set until I leave the ground
-
Got the rubber wheel, clogged up pretty quick, because it’s under the wing makes it hard to soak it ,so far metho soaked rag and fingernails , been at it off and on for hours , about half way there, thanks everyone for the advice
-
Where can I get a rubber stick
-
Tried citrus also carby and brake cleaner , surely there’s something that would dissolve the glue but not the paint
