914 Power Drop when Turbo kicks in
in General Tech Discussion
8 years ago
Hello Everyone,
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all,
I have a little issue with one of my engines installed on Autogyro Callidos.
Engine: 914 ULS - Less than 100 hours
General: Engine runs perfectly fine at all RPMs and mag check is perfect.
I have lately started to experience a sudden drop of RPM (About 300 - 400) when the Turbo kicks in and then it comes back alive with full RPM bringing the engine to 5800.
This drop always happens when I suddenly push the throttle from about 5300 to full boost.
I have checked and calibrated the Turbo Gate position and inspected all hoses for leaks etc..
This is a fairly new engine with less than 100 hours and this issue is recent.
Any suggestions on what could be the issue before we go to extreme measures.
My last diagnoses is I am suspecting some dirt in the carbs .. Could I be wrong?
Please advise.
Andre'
