Is the lead wire broken?
•
Is the plug burned out?
•
• Has Lmt been set?
Is engine speed displayed on the EC-1 when the engine is running?
•
Are abnormal values (±100%) displayed for LmL, LmM or LmH?
•
Are the rubber dampers of the engine soft mount too soft?
•
Are the rubber dampers of the soft mount damaged?
•
Is the throttle linkage sticking?
•
Is the linkage too weak causing it to be affected by vibrations?
•
Is the check valve normal?
•
Is the servo malfunctioning or is the servo mount loose?
•
Is the propeller size correct?
•
• Is the engine running at 8,000 rpm or higher?
Is there an abnormality in the engine soft mount (cracked)?
•
When there are occasional disturbances in engine speed when the
•
air-fuel mixture is rich at high speeds, there may be a problem with
the temperature sensor. Is an abnormal temperature (300˚C or
higher) displayed for Tmax Tmp?
• Is the filter clogged?
Are the rubber dampers of the engine soft mount too soft?
•
Are the rubber dampers of the soft mount damaged?

Is there any sticking or abnormalities in the linkage?
•
Is the oil content of the fuel correct?
•
Is the engine speed too low?
•
Is the check valve functioning properly?
•
Is the air control servo operating abnormally (hunting)?
•
If the sound of the engine remains unchanged when diving during
•
flight and stick response is lost, this indicates that there is too much
fuel being supplied to the engine. Try adjusting TmL or TmM in the (-)
direction.
Is the air control linkage to weak so that the operation of the air valve
•
either stops or is delayed relative to the operation of the servo? (Try
using a thicker component for the linkage.)
Is the carburetor operating? (Check the carburetor retainer.)
