Spit Question

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Went onto burning skies server yesterday taking the spit. I was intending to climb to altitude, but at about 17.5 K feet the engine began to sputter and starve. Red Light for the supercharger was on and I could hear when the supercharger kicked in.

 

I don't know what I am doing wrong, could someone offer any tips ?

Turn on the electrical fuel pump and you are good to go above 17,5K feet.

There's also a fuel pressure valve on the forward dash by your right knee. It is a large metal butterfly switch. Rotate this in the clockwise direction, it will ensure you have fuel pressure at all altitudes.

I turn on the fuel pump AND rotate the butterfly valve as part of my start checks. It's not in the offficial checks, but I do it to spare me the indignity of forgetting when I need it later...
