Hmmm . . . I like the interpretation than despite not having a tailwheel
endorsement, signifying in my logbook that I have received sufficient
instruction in tailwheel aircraft operation to handle a tailwheel
airplane on my own as Pilot-In-Command, that I can fly a tailwheel
aircraft and log the time as long as I don't try to take off or land it.
So following this wishful interpretation of the FARs, as a single engine
pilot I could log time in a Boeing 747 as PIlot-In-Command as long as I
fly on only one engine and leave the other three shut down. I could get
in over an hour's flight time logged at a 500 foot per minute
underpowered loss of altitude descent from 35,000 feet before we hit the
ground.

You are a lawyer and write that? A 747 Is not a single engine aircraft
even though you shut the other engines down, You are not rated to fly
it.

Anyone have a few words of wisdom for me:
I'm pulling my hair out over a crappy engine idle that I can't seem to tame.
The basic problem is that I'll start the engine and it fires right up and
runs at about 700-750 RPM just like the book says it should. But from
there, all it seems to want to do is gradually idle slower and slower as the
engine warms up until it barely runs (between 450-500 RPM) by the time I've
done all my checks and am ready to take the runway for takeoff.
The engine is a new Mattituck built TMX-IO360 Lycoming clone with Lightspeed
electronic ignition on one side and a magneto on the other. It also has
Airflow Performance fuel injection with purge valve, a Sterba wood prop and
Mark Landoll's 11 pound steel inertia ring bolted to the flywheel. The
configuration is updraft with the AFP fuel controller bolted to the bottom
of the sump (like carbureted engines) and uses Van's airbox. I've read the
AFP manual and talked to the tech there and adjusted the idle mixture and
stop numerous times but I can't seem to stabilize it. When I have the
cowling off, I make the adjustments and taxi around a bit to warm up the
engine and it seems to be ok. Then I'll put the cowling back on and the
symptoms seem to reappear. There isn't anything banging against the cowling
that I can see that would be causing trouble so I'm totally stumped!
Anyone else having this problem? I'm flying out of a long but narrow strip
with trees on three side and no good places to land near the airport.
Needless to say it makes me nervous, even though the engine runs strong just
off idle and at full power. Thanks.

Jerry, great catch. A SEL is certainly different that an MEL and one

Dean=2C
It sounds like you have an intake leak. A reason it gets worse with the co
wling on is that there is warmer air inside the cowling. Without the cowli
ng the surrounding air stays the same temp. May I suggest you get a spray
water bottle. With the engine running=2C carefully spray all the intake co
nnections and see what happens. If there is an intake leak the engine shou
ld stutter. If that does not work give me a call. I think you still have
my cell phone number.
Also=2C we are flying down to your neck of the woods on january 10th for a
week in Orlando at out timeshare. maybe we can get together.

Might be safer to leave the engine off, blow shop vacuum cleaner air
into the intake, spray soapy water on the intake plumbing and look for
bubbles. I have never done this, but it sounds like it might work,
pinpoint the leak more precisely, and there is no prop blast and
extreme danger of loss of limb or life involved. We have a one-armed
mechanic around here who stumbled into a running engine in the service
hangar while setting the mag timing. Be careful.

it is time to get the guages out check the unregulated fuel pressure and the regulated
fuel pressure, also check the you don't have an internel leak in the servo.
but i would still bet it is an intake leak. spray all of the connections
with wd-40 and see if you get an increase in rpm.
