Update:After adjusting float level, bracing carbs, my jetting has changed still not up to 1200 but as high as I can get it. Here are my jets and temps # 2. 170 Jet less than 900 155 jet. 1050 145 jet 900-950 150 jet. 1050-1100. Static RPM 3060#4. 170. Less than 900 155 jet 950 140 jet 1000-1050 130 jet 1050-1100. STATIC RPM 3060So finally have the 2 sides even on temps. I checked my tiny tac with a digital for max rpm and got 3060. Tiny tac was bouncing around at WOT.Next I set up the thrust scale and at the max jets and 3060 RPM above I got 150 lbs thrust. Am running a TN 54x22. I spoke to TN PROPS and can get a 54-20 repitch for 75.00 and 1 week wait.If anybody has a Mosler 6 bolt 3 1/4". Prop with the 2" counterbore. I may be interested......I am thinking more rpm may give higher EGT and also my extra thrust Am I on the right track.?Bob
Dan,Thanks for this, I did see this and set up accordingly. I thought maybe the L Eagle guys had a different setting....How did you measure your engine thrust. I am thinking a 200# deer scale with a hook and rope tied to a trailer hitch or tree??Thanks,Bob
I wanted to get back to this thread as I am ready to try to lean out my 37hp 1/2 vw. I have 10 or so issue free flights which I chalk up to no vibration shaking the float needles, making the motor run rich at certain rough power bands. It even happened when landing in a rough field where the floats bounced around and overflowed. So I am running great right now but still low EGT.I have been running 170 main jets with the needles on the middle notch. My EGTs are around 900 on both sides. I just went to 160 mains for a couple flights and saw no change. I was going to go to 150 next, to see if I can get then up to 1000 or so.My CR is 8:1 and I am running premium Mogas.Comments greatly appreciated.
