<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Larry, I'd say the rotor disc pin was loose. They probably pushed it back and retightened the grub screw. Now your rotor disc and back plate clearance is OK it will run again.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In the worst case scenario, which actually happened to me ..the pin moved forward and into the path of the con rod. Things got very ugly at that point as you can imagine.</FONT></P>

</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I sent an engine into YS Performance and on the paper I received today it stated they “adjusted the back plate”…They did take care of me so this is -not- a complaint. I will probably call YS to ask about it, but has any body else had this problem? Is it something that the average pilot learns about with YS engines?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I’m not the best engine guy around to begin with and the YS DZ is new to me.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It ran great for practice flights and up through the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> round. On the 4<SUP>th</SUP> round it died in a stall turn. I got it started and then it quickly died at idle and would not restart. I sent it in to YS Performance and they took care of it.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">YS got the engine running and it was in warranty, but curious about the back plate adjustment comment.</FONT></SPAN>
