So some times ya just have to kick your self !
yesterday I had my Edge at the field and could not get the OS 120 to run , tried new plugs all the normal stuff , it would run for a bit and then shut off , and then it would not start at all ...
When i had the time last night ,after mowing parts of the lawn and cleaning up the rest of the wood pile in the driveway I decided to take another look at what was going on.
I noticed that I left the fuel in the tank , not something I normally do when leaving the field , I hooked up the pump to drain the tank, but nothing would come out . Strange, it filled but would not drain.
I pulled the tank out of the plane and that is when I noticed what I had done , when I put the tank back together over the winter , I crossed up the line int he tank. I have three tubes in the tank , one for the carb, one for exhaust and one capped .
I hooked the line in the tank to the one that was capped ..... no wonder it would not run ! The line going to the carb was only picking up the fuel when the tank was filled , when it burnt off a little it could not get fuel any longer !
