    Subject: Lycoming Engine/Carb AD
    Thanks Scott. I am not sure if the pump in the plane is an accelerator pum p=2C I will check. A few aviator friends have mentioned the Optima batteri es which have significantly higher crank capacity. Pete From: sstearns2@yahoo.com Subject: Re: KIS-List: Lycoming Engine/Carb AD Do you have an accelerator pump on the carb? It should on a 320 or larger. It pumps some extra fuel in to accelerate the engine when you increase th e throttle. You can pump the throttle a few times while the engine is cran king to get some more fuel into the dense cold air. You do not want to pum p too much or pump with the engine stopped since fuel will drip out of the carb. You could always go to fuel injection. I like my silverhawk setup. Also=2C if you do not already have one=2C a modern battery like the Oddessy batteries in aircraft spruce should give you more cranking power for the s ame weight and size.

I am not sure if it is due to a low crankin g capacity battery or the lack of a primer. I do have an electrical fuel p ump. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions or recommendations ? Thanks.
