| Subject: | Adjusting fuel flow to cylinders |
G'day all,
Since first flight, I have noticed that my #2 cylinder is consistently
hotter than the rest in all modes of flight except cruise lean of peak. At
peak, and lean of peak, #2 is consistently cooler than the rest. I
concluded that the fuel flow rate to cylinder 2 was less the rest for some
reason. At the suggestion of one of our listers, I popped the top cowl and
ran the 'coke bottle test'. This confirmed that fuel delivery to cylinder 2
was indeed about 80% of that to the other cylinders.
So, what to do? I removed the fuel line, cleaned it and could not find any
obvious obstruction. Since the flow test confirmed the flow out of the line
was less than the others, I can only conclude that there is a problem with
the spider. Are there any adjustments that can be made? Sorry if this is a
really lame question, but engines are still a black art to me.
Cheers,
Ron

Was your test with the injector or without it? If with, swap that
injector with your richest cylinder. If without, I'm not sure how
relevant it is without the back pressure of the injector. I'm not
aware of any adjustments in the spider. I suppose it could have a bit
of dirt/debris inside it. Ordinarily all 4 injectors see the same
pressure, and it is the injector that determines actual flow. That is
why GAMI is able to adjust flow by providing accurate flow measured
injectors selected to match the airflow each cylinder sees.
The fuel servo controls the fuel pressure to the spider (flow divider)
which simply splits the flow into 6 lines, and has a low pressure
cutoff to stop flow when you go to idle cutoff. All 6 injectors should
see the same pressure, and the size of the orifice controls the flow
volume into the manifold.
I would soak that injector in Hoppe's #9 gun cleaner for about 30 min.
then blow out with compressed air. Do not leave the injector in the
solution too long as it can actually affect the metal over time. If
that doesn't change anything, try an injector swap. If the problem
moves with the injector, you know you need a new injector.

For all of you that are close to installing the doors and want my system,
don't cut your rack gears from Vans where they tell you. Cut them in half,
right down the middle or wait for the instructions with my kit. This way I
(or you)can make 180 degrees of travel on your handle. Retrofit kits will
have the option of buying 90 degree kits for already cut racks or 180 degree
kits that include new racks for the handles. The 180 degree kits will cost
a little extra for the material. For those of you who want retrofit kits
you will have to decide on whether you want the door to be pulled in before
pin penetration and 1-1/4 of pin travel past the door or 90 degree kits that
hold the door closed and tight in the middle preventing bulging and the same
pin extension.

Ron,
Airflow Performance has injectors with inserts. Various inserts have
different diameters and will adjust fuel flow. They have a procedure for
checking and adjusting the fuel flows for balance. You should check them
out.
There is no adjustment in the spider.

Thanks Robert.
It could be retro-fitted.- The only new holes are four screw holes, a 5/1
6 hole to tighten a screw and an opening in the bottom of the door to slide
in the mechanism which is about 2-1/8 inches x 3/4 which could be filled i
n with a fiberglass piece.
I'm thinking about making a bunch of these and having the builders install
them.-
Haven't thought about cost.

I'm not positive, but I think they're only for experimental aircraft.
The really neat thing about AF injectors is that they change an insert
instead of the whole injector body ..... making it much easier to change
the injector orifice on a hot engine.

I believe you are correct re experimental only. I darn sure would NOT
want to be messing with injector lines and liquid avgas on top of a
hot engine, without a nomex suit and a couple fire guards standing by.

I'd second that. The CDI brand torque wrenches work great. The only thing
I'd add it that you get the model that starts at 10 in/lbs instead of 20
in/lbs. AN3 nuts get tightened to 20-25 in/lbs and it best not to use a
wrench right at the starting value. I got a brand new cdi wrench on ebay
for $89. Deals can be had if you have the time to wait and look.

You will be using it a lot, so you might as well get it now. The 1/4" drive
is the most used, but as you move to final assembly you need the others
sizes also. Since you are literally betting your life on it's measurement
get a good one that is calibrated. Otherwise buy a good used one that is
calibrated or get it calibrated. Cleveland tools
( cleavelandtoolstore.com )
sells a very good CDI branded wrench (calibrated) that is actually a
snap-on wrench (identical) except for the logo. It is not cheap (about $189)
but do you want to trust your torque values to a Harbor Freight wrench. Also
a couple of tubes of torque lacquer, so that you do not forget what you
worked on.

Have you done the LOP test which determines the fuel flow rate (gph) that e

By this, BTW, I mean that the injectors are the same. They're
just injectors. You can buy AFP inserts for your Precision/Bendix
injectors. As far as I know, the AFP difference is in the
servo and spider.

To all get on the same page terminology wise AFP calls the inserts
Restrictors. The Restrictors fit into the injectors so I have one size
Injector but currently running 4 different size Restrictors.
A LOP test (or two) should show where the cylinder is (rich or lean)
relative to the other cylinders.

interest from the RV-10 community. I'm interested in getting one and I
thought I would post here to encourage others that may be interested to
order as well.
To order, just send an email to tjtechart@comcast.net and let Tom know which
model you want and whether you want a limited edition or an open edition
print. If you want an open edition, let us know if you want an 18x24 or
24x36. No money is collected until the project starts.
The following is an overview of what's involved in the project and the
different types of prints available.
Research (approximately 50 hours including travel)
Access to engineering plans and actual RV's. I have already contacted Vans'
Aircraft who have given me a thumbs up "go", and they are willing to provide
access to plans. I'm confident there are enough RVs in the Portland area for
final close-up access to a finished plane(s).
Hand created draft (about 200 hours)
Pencil the detailed draft. This is the phase that makes my art unique. I do
this phase by hand because it adds a unique perspective and fine art
quality-like Leonardo DaVinci. Also because it's more like building the real
plane, which is essentially what I must do to create these images.
Final details and painting (about 100 hours)
Load the draft into the computer for completion and painting.
Send to the Printer.
Tom will bill the retainer through PayPal once the required number of orders
is reached.
Once all retainers (50%) have been received, I will schedule in the
project, which will take approximately 8 weeks to complete.
Available prints and pricing:
18" X 24" on archival paper.............................................
...$45.00 +S/H**
24" X 36" on archival paper.............................................
...$65.00 +S/H**
Fine-art 24" X 36" limited edition of 100 *giclee prints..........$200.00 +
S/H**
Custom prints: an exclusive cutaway of your personal aircraft with your
paint scheme and specific details. By quote only, the price will be
determined by the complexity of paint scheme and level of detail desired. A
50% deposit will be required on these special projects to secure a position
in the queue. They will be scheduled in the order received after completion.
Custom cutaways generally range between $500 - $1500. I have done some of
these works for Pitts Model 12 customers and they have been extremely
pleased with the final result.
*a giclee is digital print that is the highest quality reproduction
available. These are fine-art prints produced on museum quality acid-free
paper using non-fading special inks. When framed properly, these prints have
non-fading life expectancy of 100 years. These must be printed one at a time
at ultra-high resolution for maximum detail. They take about 1 hour each to
print and are dazzling.
**Shipping and handling includes actual shipping charge and packing tube.
Within the US this is $15.00. Overseas rates vary. (Inquire for rates)

Not all Bendix injectors are two piece, so you couldn't put inserts in
the older one piece. And the inserts would not be legal in a certified
engine. But if AFP system should be no issue.

Thx guys - keep the responses coming. I should point out that I did the fuel flow
test with the fuel lines disconnected from the injectors, so this is raw flow
from the spider down the fuel line only. I don't see how adding inserts/restrictors
is going to help my case.
Cheers,
Ron

Unrestricted flow without injectors is NOT meaningful. There would be
way more flow than you would ever get through the injectors. You need
to redo the test with injectors after ensuring the offending injector
is truly clean. Then consult with AFS or GAMI as to revision needed.

Along one of the J-channels on the right side. Just lay the wire in
there and fasten with tie wraps through holes in the J-channel. I
believe that was how it was suggested in the Vans wiring plan.
Great game

Pilot (left) side, 2nd J channel down from the longeron. laid the wire
in the channel and drilled #40 holes to tie the wire down with wax lace.

Sorry, I should have said the normal newer Precision stuff.
For many people it'll be a new rebuild with something like
an AFP or silverhawk system. Of course some people will
have older engines with the older Bendix systems too....so
that wouldn't apply I guess. And you're right...swapping
inserts isn't A.O.K. on certifieds...only us experimentals.
Chalk that up as just one more think that sets the category
apart. Man, I don't know if I could ever go back to certified
with the amazing number of benefits to experimental.

is anyone taking reservations for camping this year? we haven't decided on
hotel or tent. Expect to arrive Sunday and leave Wednesday. Probably can
tent camp with the spam cans. Probably be better to camp in Scholer in RV10
village.
