RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
Hi folks To save my self the head ecke i chose to just go with two A123 1100mah packs on seperate switches and use a 4.8 2300mah nimi on a seperate switch for the ignition . And because i am using all hitec gear there is no need for a voltage reg. one pack goes into the batt plug and the other goes into any other channel i choose and that is y'd in with my rudder and with that set up i can fly all day with no problems at all plenty of power for sure .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
Yup I agree about the zip ties they do tend to kink up at the joint But what i am using is the type of fuel line clamps that the LHS sells for the nitro fule lins and they are made of spring steele and you sqeeze them with a pair of pliers that opens it and releese the pliers and the clamp will close up on the fuel line to tighten them . But in this case i didn't have enough of the clamps to go around so i used twist ties and i am guessing that the same thing happened as what happens with zip ties they bunched up at the joint so i am heading to my LHS to get a bunch of propper clamps for sure .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
Hi Folks Well i got it figured out today and it wasn't the servo but i did find an air leak I am using a T fitting in my main fuel line from the tank with an inline filter and then the T with my fuel Dot line and then a short length of line to the carb so the air leak was after the filter and T and was showing up in the last short length of line for the carb so as a test i removed the T and Fuel dot line and used a straight length of line from the filter to the carb and problem fixed so now i have to figure out if the T is getting the air or just the short length of line or not just a good tight fit .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
I would like to get it running so it is running reliable at least before i fly the plane again and i had thought the same as you about the servo arm and with the cowl off it didn't look like it was moving the throttle arm that is one of the first things i checked at the field but i am going to check and make sure even if i have to replace the servo to be sure but it only seems to do it at idle .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
if i run it at 1/4 and then back to idle it still does it even if i dont go the full throttle and yes i am starting at the settings it came back with but will try and reset to the specs and start over also Todd told me to use this prop for my War Bird he said it would give me a little more rpms and still have the speed

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
Here is a problem that i have never run into before I have had my engine repaired by Todd it runs good and a good top end but once i come back down to idle it stay's a little high on the idle and then drops and tends to surge a little up and down over and over and after about a minute or so it quits the engine has had 3 tanks and gas threw it so far and i am using good fresh gas with a 40-1 mix of castrol 2 stroke temps oil and an APC 17x10 prop and i am getting about 7600 at full throttle . I figured that the low end was lean and kept turning it out an 8th at a time but it is still doing it even with the low end out at 2 1/4 -2 1/2 turns should i keep trying to richen it or should i just give it more run time .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
I had to take out the opto kill switch as it was not alowing the propper spark and may have even affected the timing as well. Also folks I got my engine back from Todd today and he did a beautiful job on fixing me engine and he even included the new muffler and inserts and from the day i sent it to him the full return trip was about 2 1/2 weeks pretty darn good i think seeing that i live on the east coast of Canada.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
I had called Todd about 2 weeks ago and he answered on the first call and i was having a big problem with my engine and he said to send it back under warranty and after he got it he had it fixed 2 days later and was about to run it that day and was to send it back the next day and i am hopeing that it will be here soon so i can get my War Bird back up and running . so sometimes he is just very busy and cant get to the phone so keep trying .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
Hobby Man I think you will find that it's not a pressure issue you seem to have enough of the cowl opened up to prevent it . I am flying an ESM P39 and i dont even have that much of open space in my cowl and i am not having any pressure issues at all also my syssa engine is mounted inverted with the head sticking out the bottom and it is running cool enough as well.see photo's if you can see it on the #3 photo the vents just under the guns on the cowl is the only open space at the top or front and that way the air goes threw the cowl at a faster rate .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
yup you got it a key hole and i found that it works very well . [quote]ORIGINAL: Slow and Steady It is actually a "key hole" in the bottom of the engine box, with the blind nut holding the choke closed when the nyrod is extended. As mentioned earlier, the choke plate also has to sit flush to the venturi opening for it to be effective. [/quote]

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
Dont forget to add a small slot on one side of the hole for it to slide into to keep it in place while you are flipping the prop. [quote]ORIGINAL: Slow and Steady My choke is set up like nyflyer, except that instead of a welded on washer, I use a blind nut attached to the nyrod via a short length of threaded control rod. With a key hole in the bottom of the engine box the choke is held closed via the blind nut. [/quote]

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
JohnB96041 I to have my choke rod going straight down threw the cowl but i used a length of piano wire that is thredded on one end and i connected a golden clevis on the thredded end and connected it to the choke and i then pulled it down all the way with the cowl on in place and marked the rod where it meets the cowl on the out side and i took it back off and then soldered a washer onto the rod at that mark and then made the hole in the cowl big enough for the washer to fit threw and made a small slot on the side of that same hole for the music wire to kick to the side and that holds the choke closed while i am kicking the engine over and that works very well for me . [quote]ORIGINAL: JohnB96041 [quote]ORIGINAL: Joystick TX John - I would not grind off the tab, it holds one end of the choke in place when it is closed. [/quote] Is there a better way to hold the choke on since it is spring loaded. I have a nyrod going streight down through the cowl, but have to hold it down while trying to rock the prop for the prime. I would reather have a choke that is lockted in the closed position until the engine pops, then turn off the choke to continue flipping for the start. Any suggestions to make this step easier?

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
I agree with johnB96041 on the choke I would rather have a butterfly choke as well and i find they just work better . But i did find that the more the engine got used the easier it was for the carb to draw the gas up and i use an electric pump for fueling up and i will flip the prop with the choke on about 6 times while it is filling and that helps a lot and then when i am ready to go i just turn on the cdi and rx and flip her over and it will usually fire up after about 4-6 flips i have also found that it will not fire up unless i use a little more throttle than just idle . [quote]ORIGINAL: JohnB96041 [quote]ORIGINAL: Joystick TX Are you using the Syssa engine choke? [/quote] Yes. That is what I have been using. I would have liked to have had a butterfly choke rather than the flip/slide choke on the outside of the carb. I think it needs to have the small tab ground off so it closes a little more. Thoughts?

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
I had the same problem when i first tried starting my engine but found that the more use the engine got the easier it was to start and i think that you will find the same and after a gallon of gas threw it you will find that about 5-6 flips of the prop by hand it will start up no problems .

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
I would check to make sure that the timing pickup has not come loose and as i found on my engine when one of my stand of mounts came loose it did the same as what you are describing i also found some small metel fileings on the pickup magnet that might have interfired with the propper timing spark.
