Maintaining the
RSA Fuel Injection
This 1/2 hour video on CD (not DVD) which was produced as a training tool for A&P mechanics is divided into three basic parts:
The first is on routine maintenance techniques and covers the fuel servo unit, cleaning and replacing the filter, and inspection and replacement of nozzles, restrictors and lines.
The demonstrations are easy to follow and the techniques can be accomplished with only basic tools. Many hints and tips are given to help accomplish these tasks with minimum frustration and minimum risk of damaging the parts.
The trouble shooting section covers four basic areas; including how to identify the problem, what causes it, and most important what to do about it. The areas covered are rough operation at idle power, stumbling when throttling up from idle power, continuous running in the idle shutoff position, and problems involving air in the system.
Finally an explanation of hot starting problems are discussed along with recommended procedures to minimize or solve this frustrating problem.
