Hi Bert,
I also don't have any increase in rpm prior to engine cutting out using the
mixture control. My O-320 runs sweet and idles smoothly at 600 rpm with
metal FP Sensenich prop. But you have to be sure that pulling the throttle
back when landing that the engine doesn't die. In setting the mixture
screw, I simply adjusted it in and out until the engine idled smoothly,
erring if anything on the lean side. If I had of adjusted it on the rich
side then I may have got the rpm increase Lycoming suggest, but it is not a
problem. Obviously doesn't seem to be one for you either..
Cheers
Martin in Oz

| Subject: | RV-10 Nose Wheel Safety Issue Update |
I lost in flight one of the U-1024's (page 48-17) attached to the 1013C,
bracket along with the mounting screw (Allen head) and lock washer. No
damage occurred on landing.
I had originally thought about drilling the heads of the two mounting
screws and safety wire to the 1013C's but after drilling the heads I
decided that the better method was to drill down through the U-1024,
through the mounting screw, and then run the safety wire back to the
1013 bracket. It worked great. I didn't have my camera at the airport
so I failed to get any pictures.
If both U-1024's had come loose and both 1013C mounting brackets had
shifted back I could have suffered major damage to the nose wheel pant
and possible to the gear leg fairing on landing.
My assumption is that while moving the RV-10 with the tow bar the tow
bar pressure caused the mounting screw to back off the lock washer
enough that during flight the vibration caused the screw to back out far
enough to drop off the U-1024 into somebody's pasture.
A smart move would be to check the tightness of the screw with an Allen
wrench after each use of a Tow Bar to move the airplane or to safety
wire as above.

Lost original thread, but this should help.
From: Light Plan Maintenance, August 2004.
"Most MA-4 series carbs have something of a strange glitch in that you can
attempt to richen the mixture with the knob, but a 25 RPM rise at altitude
is all you'll get. Often theses engines will have no rise at all at sea
level. Not to worry, The MA-4 will operate well despite the strange
behavior, and problems are few. Do not however, back the idle mixture screw
out so far that the holding spring tension is lost. There have been reports
of the valve falling out in flight."
I know, because I lost the mixture screw on my first flight. Engine quits
on landing due to, too rich of a mixture. If it idles OK, it is OK.

| Subject: | 9(A) Trim Tab Hinge |
My hinge is not prepunched (either side). The instructions seem to
imply a pre-punched hinge and the Ordnoff video shows it pre-punched
too. Van's told me no, the hinges are definitely NOT prepunched. So,
does everyone else also have non-pre-punched hinges? This is a little
strange..

Hi Paul,
The hinges are NOT pre-punched. Clamp it to the spar
and drill it.
