The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

I actually went flying! Got my PAU/BME ultimate in the air after some misgivings with the cabanes being bent and the engine wanting to kick back.

Unfortuenatly my PAU Edge would not start. Never once did I get it to pop. All indications at the field showed it was getting fuel and and both the optic kill and 3W ignition lights were working. So I packed it up.

Got it in the shop and tore the carb apart and cleaned it (it was full of fuel, so maybe I flooded it). I also replaced the plugs and cleaned out the fuel filter in the plane. Hoping to try to start it tonight.

Should the countertop not be a nice piece of aluminum plate 1/4 thick all bent to fit the top now that would be special.

Well tried again tonight. Engine is drawing fuel. Battery checks good at 8.36v and 8.10v on a 1 amp load. Got the engine to pop a few times but never run.im afraid my ignition or hall sensor is bad. Which sucks because 3 months ago it ran just fine before I hung it up.

I have a spare ignition plus 2 others so I'll try those and a new battery just in case. But my arm is sore as hell....to much flipping!

I have issues starting my engines and my buddy can come over and start it no problem. May want to have some else flip it just to try.
