Hello All -
I guess I have the "bug" to make everything perfect in my two months of owning this RV.
I have a -10, injected, one mechanical mag and one light speed.
Every flight is different. Different weather. Temperature. Altitude. Passengers...etc. So, I learn a little bit about the airplane with each flight.
On hot days, after a flight, while I am getting ready to shut down, the airplane will sometimes, but not always, stumble every 5-10 seconds at low RPM (1000 or maybe 1100).
This has happened twice. Once after a short fuel stop on a hot day, and once after a fairly long taxing to parking on a hot day.
What could this be? Fuel vaporization ? Failing mag ? Mag idle transition ?
I have an email in to LS to see if they can point me to a test.
At this point, I plan to switch between mags the next time it happens and see if the stumble changes/quits...if not, then perhaps mixture.
I tried the electric fuel pump last time, to see if that had an impact but it did not matter.
Ideas appreciated.
Scott
