Question about a Bendix RSA-5 fuel injection system. New installation on a flying -8, used engine, was flying several years ago with 120 hrs smoh. Preserved and stored in the meantime.
The engine runs well, smooth, good temps, etc. But I've run out of idle mixture adjustment. I'm at the last click, and I just barely get a slight rpm increase with idle cut off. Good acceleration response, smooth, easy start. But I'm wondering why the radically different idle mixture setting.
Question to anyone knowledgeable with these systems, is this indicative of a problem? Can I adjust the linkage to get back some added "adjustment"? (Not an option - figured this one out.) General thoughts? (Don't know what type injectors I have - will check next time at the airport.)
Thanks in advance!
