Hey guy's, I'm fairly new to this, but I fly a RV6a, been flying it for about 1 year, did not build it, but love it just the same.
My question is: Has anyone else heard of this?
My engine has a very fast hick-up when I pull the power back going from cruise to landing . If I am in cruise say 2450 RPM, when I pull back on the power to about 2150 or so it sounds like it is running out of fuel, but it happens so fast, by the time I hear it it's over with, I can leave it at that power setting and it don't do it again, JUST COUGHS, LIKE FUEL STARVATION . I first thought it was the power setting but I have found out it will also do it at other power settings, for instance, If I am decending and pulling back on the power, it does it, say when I pull back on the throttle maybe 1 inch or so, So its not a rpm setting it seems to be a throttle setting.... It will do this almost ever time. I can avoid it by pulling back on the power to about 1200 RPM quickly.
I am puzzled????
