While we are investigating viable alternatives for the Ellison Bottle Throttle Injector (company is gone, no more support) for our O-360 A2F, could I ask for some help and advice, please?
* if anyone has a pdf manual, please drop me a copy ([email protected]).
* I believe our mixture is generally too rich:
1. at full throttle and full rich, the engine suddenly stuttered on climbout #6 in pattern work at 300'. scary. fortunately, pulling back the throttle immediately eliminated the stutter.
2. we had fouled plugs recently, just 3-5 flying hours after the annual (which had checked that we had cleaned plugs). we mostly fly patterns, though. we rarely run the engine for a long time at high speed.
3. even on a 110F day, the CHT never gets above 600 degrees.
our indicated fuel flow on the Dynon reached 18gph on climbout at sea level. does this seem high? I don't know.
other oddities of our EBTI is a general unwillingness to shut down even at full idle mixture.
I know remote diagnosis is difficult, but any advice would be helpful.
also, is there a mechanic in the Los Angeles area who is very experienced with the EBTI?
