I have an RV8A with a Lycoming IO360 A1B, 200hp. It was overhauled a few years back and has 250 hours on it. Attached to the top is a Airflow Performance fuel injector, all moving a MT CS prop.
This thing is just hard to start. Mag timing is spot on.
Hard to start cold and darn near impossible hot.
I’ve asked many and got many answers. Even talked to the Lycoming rep at OSH.
Anyone have the above set up and can offer suggestions?
Yesterday flew, landed and immediately tried to restart hot. Touched nothing. Throttle was at 1000 rpm and mix ICO. Nuthin…
I am hesitant to go places fearing I’m going to get stuck. Always have managed eventually to get it going ,but many attempts in every configuration .
