Baseleg Aviation RV-9 carburetor issue

[@dermick]

Thanks Vic - interesting to see the fuel squirt up like that - I had no idea that's what it did.

So happy to see this video. I usually pump about three times. Didn't know it was a waste. Will change my practice from here on. Thanks Vic!!!

I have the book it’s great

Could you plz make a video removing and inspecting the fuel inlet filter of the carburetor.

[@baselegaviation1614]

will try to do that but it might be a while. there’s a picture of it on page 64 of my maintenance book. Just disconnect the fuel inlet line to the carb a then unscrew the remaining fitting and the filter will come right out.

Another good video Vic. What about us that have FI? How do we adjust those? I have the Bendix RSA-5 (IO360-MIB) First time with an FI system and I'm almost ready for first engine start. Also, off video topic but at 2:09 I see a battery that's not an Odyssey battery on the table. Universal batteries? Is it used in the RV? Do you have info or opinion on it?

[@baselegaviation1614]

you need to look your specific FI servo, but basically they will be the same, with an adjustment screw to set idle rpm’s and then either a thumb screw (bendix) or mechanism (airflow performance) to adjust the idle mixture. I’ll try to video one the next time I have one available. As for the battery, I think it came out of the tug. I usually have a 12v battery on the bench for testing stuff. I only use Earthx or Odyssey batteries in the aircraft.
