I. If the idle speed setting is not stable after repeated attempts, complete a check of the idle linkage. Look for loose connections which could cause erratic idling. J. AVStar DOES NOT recommend re-indexing or taking apart the idle linkage clevis assembly. Idle fuel flows are initially set when tested on a qualified test bench, with specific throttle positions and fuel flows.

30 days or more. If not certain as to the status of the fuel injector being installed and if it has been preserved, AVStar recommends the following procedure as a best practice, best performed with the fuel injector removed from the engine: (1) Remove the fuel inlet and strainer and clean the strainer in accordance with Chapter 05-30 of this manual.

B. This procedure should be followed anytime the fuel injector is anticipated to be inactive for 30 days or more. C. Repeat the process annually when in storage for more than one year. 73-10 AVStar Fuel Systems. All Rights Reserved Page | 32 May 27, 2022...
NOTICE: If multiple injection nozzles are to be removed, apply a label to each fuel line and injection nozzle for reference on assembly. AVStar recommends installing a shipping cap over the nozzle once the fuel line is disconnected. This will secure the nozzle insert within the nozzle body and prevent the introduction of FOD during the removal and installation.
If cleaning does not correct the scattered stream, replace the injection nozzle. Fuel injection nozzles are not repairable. J. Disconnect the fuel line from the injection nozzle. K. Lubricate an acceptable injection nozzle threads with engine oil mixture. 73-10 AVStar Fuel Systems. All Rights Reserved Page | 34 May 27, 2022...
