RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?
BTW... My original Ignition module failed on a 6.6v A123 pack which was regulated down to 5.4 volts on the regulator.

RE: NEW KMP 95
Though I haven't started my B-25 yet. I originally was going to put in a pair of RCS 1.40 (22cc) then the DLE 20 came out... but now I see that OS has just released their GT22. Hmmm, Might have to look into them.

Hi rexbirk, Yes, the standard RcExcel Ignition works and with the original sensor. I now have over 10 flights on my engine and not a hick-up. Plus an additional hour of run time on the ground. Gunny

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?
Thanks pulsar110 for the kind words. I am running a XOAR 18x8 laminated prop and getting 7,700 rpm's If I switched over to a Xoar 18x8 beach it might be better. The laminated prop is slightly heavier. Gunny

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?
I finally got to fly this engine in my 20 pound PT-19. It was very easy to start and ran flawlessly. This one is a keeper. Great job PTE... Looking forward for future engine sizes.

Give Troy Built models a call. If not there, then Maybe AMR.

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?
pulsar110, I had the same issues you had and when I changed to the rcexel it runs and starts great. I too checked my timing and it was a couple of mm off. I didn't run out of slot in the hall sensor. I checked it with a degree wheel. Try it where it is 2mm off (retarded), you should be fine. Easier starts but just a little less power.

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?
Sounds like the problem that I had. I first changed out the cap to an rcexel but it did the same thing. So I just used a spare Rcexel ignition module.

I bought mine around the same time from them. My ignition module failed and the choke screw came loose too. But I am so far happy with mine.

RE: zdz 40 RV carb
Please keep us posted. You could mount the engine on a test stand just so you can see it run without redoing any pushrod changes in the plane. Then work from there...

RE: zdz 40 RV carb
Sorry you are having problems with it. The carb bolts should be torked down to 8" oz. It's not much. (I use blue locktite). If the white spacer is cover compressed it could leak when warmed up. If you can, eliminate the white spacer and blue paper gasket. That's what is on my new ZDZ. Make sure the pulse holes line up.

RE: zdz 40 RV carb
I had a similar problem and it was with the spacer. The original spacer was about 3/32" thick and it was made from an aluminum sheet. I called Mike Dooley "RCShowcase" now maybe still working at TBM and he sent me an upgraded thicker approx. 3/16" thick aluminum spacer. It now runs fine. This was back in 2003. I just checked my next generation ZDZ 50 and it only has one 3/32" thick redish in color gasket between the carb and engine. I'm wondering if it quits in the same spot on the fuel tank level? If it does... is it the tank or is your ignition module overheating and shutting down. What about the condition of the ignition battery? Is it old and/or undersized? Gunny

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?
Cat Power, You said you changed the module... What about the hall sensor. My other guess would be to check the reeds. Mine did the same thing, but all is O.K. when I put an rcexel ignition unit on it. I'm still using the stock hall sensor.
