We are rebuilding a Lycoming O-320 for use in an RV. We have noticed the following problems and don't know how to resolve them.
We have put on a remanufactured carborateur. At full throttle, the engine runs rough unless the mixture is leaned very much (over half of the mixture control). Is it normal for it to be this reach? If not, how would I adjust it?
In doing the mag check, the engine quit when the ignition switch was turned to R. We tried tracing the continuity of the p-leads through the ignition switch. We did not notice a problem. We switched the p-leads and the problem followed the p-lead. Also, when attaching a mag timing light, the light for the left mag was always on. Any ideas of what we need to check next?
We are also curious to know what the static rpm at full power would be?
