Group,
In the process of building my firefly, I have seen nothing showing how to
hook up the ignition switch. I also got no info or instructions on prop
installation with my ivo prop.
Does anyone have a good picture on there builders site that I could view
the ivo prop with hub & spacer?

John:
Glad that you had a great trip. Sorry we couldn't connect as you came
through "New Joisey". We should all have the experience of being awakened
by the burner of a hot air balloon! Look forward to the rest of the map
being filled in.
Fun, Safe Flying!

I tried searching the archives for this problem but couldn't find it.
On my first two flights I experienced high egt's 1120-1140. Changed main
jet from 165 to170.
I was told that was OK, "just move the throttle around. The REAL problem is
after landing, moving the throttle from idle does nothing , no rpm change
from idle.
If I shut the engine off and start it again after a few seconds everything
is OK. Any suggestions ?

Good evening Gang,
I think I have finally caught up on the email, cleaned the Kolbra and worked
on
a webpage update.
Here is how my recent trip went:
http://home.attbi.com/~KolbraPilot4/KEPM.htm
I just hope more of you Kolb aviators can get out and see this great country
like
I have the opportunity to do.
Take care and hope you enjoy the info and photos.

Pat,
Your high EGT's may not be that much out of line as the norm is around 1100. Do
you have the EGT sensor mounted in the 'Y' of the exhaust manifold or into the
ports provided? If it's in the 'Y', they may be naturally higher.
Remember that EGT's will normally climb on a 2-stroke when the rpm's are in midrange
(4600 to 5000 rpm). They will also increase with an unloaded prop in a dive.
You might want to change back to the 160 main jet and check the jet needle to make
sure it's the right one. Also make sure the clip is in the 2nd notch from
the top for summer flying (winter, change to 3rd notch).
Make sure the jet needle clip is below the white plastic cup or you will run very
rich (this is not your problem, but would account for the engine not wanting
to run upon landing.

Pat,
It sounds like there is not enough spring force to return the cable and the throttle
to the full closed position.
Since you purchased the plane from some one else, it may not hurt to disconnect
the throttle cable and pull it out of the housing and check for water/rust etc.
Clean the cable and coat it with some white grease (lubriplate) and reassemble
the cable. If you find nothing wrong at least you have eliminated this possibility.
It would not be a bad idea to scrape away some of the plastic covering
over the housing at the lowest point in the assembly to let water/condensation
escape from inside the housing. Also, while you have it apart check the
throttle slide valve outside diameter for scratches. If you see some, it indicates
something abrasive is at work. Run your fingers around in the bore that
holds the slide to see if there is something imbedded in the surface, etc.
Good luck.

Pat,
After I sent my first response, I realized that I misinterpreted your problem.
If after landing, the engine will not spool up when you advance the throttle
is an indication that the fuel mixture is much too rich at idle. As you descend
and taxi in with a mostly closed throttle, the crankcase becomes overloaded
with fuel. When you try to advance the throttle to take off again the mixture
is too rich and the engine will not speed up. If this is the case, you will
here a low tone "brbrbrbrup" sound coming from the intake side of the engine.
Some times you can keep jigging the throttle open and closed and it will clear
out on its own, but this does not lend itself to confidence on a takeoff run
with the end of the field getting too close. If you shut the engine down for
a little bit, the fuel will vaporize and pass out through the cylinder and exhaust
or back through the carburetor due to crankcase heat helping to boil it
off. Check the idle air screw position and readjust to lean it out a little
and see if this helps.
Good luck.
