| Subject: | IO360 backfiring |
--> Engines-List message posted by: BERNDSENCO@aol.com
I have an IO-360 180 HP constant speed in my RV-7, 125 hours SMOH. When I
pull the throttle while on decent in the pattern, and also while taxiing at
idle, I'm getting a lot of popping/backfiring from the exhaust. It started
mildly about 50 hours ago and is getting much worse. I have friend who has the
same engine (200 hours) in his RV-8 and his has been doing the same.
I had one person claim vacuum leaks can cause this, so I went over the
entire induction system and verified everything is tight. Any suggestions on
what
is causing this? Other than this, the engine runs great.
Thanks,
Jon
