[AlaskaRC] IMAC - 2012 Aresti & Call Sheets

I know you where looking for a reply from Armand, but what we usually do for the first start of the season is squirt gas into the mouth of the carb.  My Da100 took 3 tries to get it to fire and run.  What that does is get some fuel in the carb to wet the pump and then lets the motor fire and kick over so that it will draw fuel faster then you could cranking it by hand.  I would try this first and then if it still doesnt get fuel take the carb apart and get some fuel in it.  What we do is get some gas in the mouth of the carb, pull the choke on and try to start it as usual.  If you crank on it and it doesnt fire right off, try to get some more fuel in the mouth of the carb again.  Once it does fire with the choke on, open the choke and try to start it.  Try that a few times and see if it will start that way.  Again, if it doesnt, open the carb and get the pump wet.

  If the boys at DA say to take apart the carb then that's the thing to do.  If it is one of the first DA50 check with them and see if the carb needs reworked.

    Thanks Armand, I call DA engines about my DA 50 not drawing fuel and they said I must take  the carb apart and wet the  rubber gaskets so it will operate.  Do you think if I pulled the  spark plug and put fuel in the  cylinder and fired the engine that might work, or with no fuel in the crankcase for lubrication will that be OK?  Engine is not going to run but for a second anyway?

    The IMAC website is:  www.mini-iac.com
    If you go there and click on the training tab you will find videos of the basic, sportsman, intermediate, and advanced sequences.

    If you want help with this or any other flying, you can catch me out at Groeschel field most weekends and I will try to be at JBER most Wednesdays (can’t make it this week cause of my wife’s birthday though).
