Hi Guys
I have an o-320 with ma 4spa carb on it. (2x slick mags 25 before TDC)
In the last couple of months I have been troubleshooting my RV6 having issues starting first thing, temperature is not cold 10-20 degrees C
I have narrowed it down to my carb fuel supply, possibly accelerator pump.
My reason is the following:
When I have my aux fuel pump on and pump the throttle I do not get any fuel in my air box like i usually did.
If I take a tiny bit of AVGAS drained from wings during preflight and throw it into my air intake she will start straight away on first rotation
After the first start of the day, she will have no problems starting again until left overnight again.
I am certain the issue is not related to ignition, and will be opening up the carb accelerator pump and check valves on the weekend. Have any of you guys got any tips on doing this, any parts that I need on hand that need replacing when taking it apart.
Does it sound like i am on the correct track?
Thanks in advance
