<DIV>Check valve in backwards by chance?</DIV>
<DIV>Fuel filter plugged? </DIV>
<DIV>Might have a pressure regulator sticking. My engine will sometimes
be tough to start after it has set a while (3-4 days).</DIV>
<DIV>Changing out the diaphram, plunger and valve seat may be a
cheap easy thing for you to do and eliminate the possibility of fuel pump
problems. I ordered several sets of spare pump parts from Central,
they are only about $6 for plunger, valve seat, diaphram, and gasket. But
you did say it just came back from YS, maybe something is just sticking
preventing the engine from getting fuel.</DIV>
<DIV> In my similar situation, theYS gurus I fly with had me open
the throttle up wide open and turn the engine over with the starter for about
10 seconds and then try to start the engine. Even then sometimes it might take
30+ seconds on the starter before the pressure regulator would pickup
and it would hit. If I fly daily it starts right up. </DIV>
<DIV>I think that what is most likely going on with mine is something in the
fuel pump is sticking if it sets up. Mine is running fine as
long as I continue to fly everyday, but I have the parts on hand now if it
quits again on me. </DIV>
<DIV> This may be old news to ya, maybe it will be
useful. <BR><BR><B><I>Peter Pennisi

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Fuel draw not the
best, very little pressure in the tank, compression seems OK. When we
first pulled the cowl the fuel was to the filter which was the high spot in
the line, after some fidgeting (not sure why) the fuel line had visible fuel
to the engine. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Removed the glow
plug, put a few drops of fuel in the cylinder still basically wouldn't
fire. There we a couple of very minor puts while turning with the
starter after putting the fuel drops in the cylinder. Pulled
valve cover, valve gap not the problem. Glow plug glows, check valve
is in the correct direction. If you put your finger over the
pipe exhaust can't feel any pressure pulses as we turned the engine
over. This engine hasn't been run since comming back from YS
(supposedly rebuilt).</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
