Well, bummer. First big xc and I'm stuck at the moment. Flew down to st George from Logan on Thursday, came back today and the plane wouldn't start up. Tried to avoid over cranking and I did let it sit for a while incase it was flooded. No luck. Also tried to clear it with full lean half/full throttle etc. no luck.
Pulled cowls and checked plugs. Figured on a Newley overhauled motor it's gotta be something simple. Found a little oil in left lower plugs but none on the right side. Cleaned em and still nothing.
The thing is it never sputtered once. I felt like it was ignition related. Called my A&P and he said to take one of the top plugs out, reconnect the top and crank it to see if you can see spark. I didn't see any. I'm stuck at this point. I know very little and can't get an A&P out here to look at it until tomorrow.
Any advice welcome.
