engine shuts down
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
6 years ago
Last Saturday I shut down our Rotax 914F turbo. (Super Dimona TTC)
Suprise: when I shut down the right-magnet, the engine stoped. (It should run further on the left-magnet!)
Another suprise: when we repeated the same with 1600 rpm, the same problem. When I shut down the right-magnet the was a decrease of 100 rpm. But when I turn the key one step further to the left, the engine stoped!
The engine started inmediately afterwards and this phenomenon was'nt seen anymore. On Sunday we flew without any problems.
But I am a littlebit worried. What could cause the unexpected shut-down? And can we expect some more suprises of this kind? Especially high above the groud?
Who can give advice?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
