DA150 - Gas from carb when fueling
Guys,
I have a "T" fitting inline with the feed to the carb for fueling. The problem I have is that gas is dripping from the carb when I am filling the tank. I have another plane with the same setup that does not exhibit this behavior. Does anyone know of any problem in the carb that would cause this? Last edited by BDSBob; 04-01-2006 at 04:44 PM. |

The diaphram peg was not in the fork of the lever. Problem fixed with help from Ralph C.

Re: DA150 - Gas from carb when fueling
I recently had this problem..
Filled the tank, flew the plane and the motor died about 4 minutes into the flight. When I went to fuel again, fule was leaking from the carb. I switched to a different carb. It fueled fine. 4 minutes into the next flight the motor died again and now that carb was leaking fuel when I tried to fill it. We pulled the motor, put a new one on and everything was fine. Sent the motor and two carbs to DA and the original carb had no obvious problems and would fuel fine. The second carb had the plunger in the wrong position so it was obvious why it was leaking. What I dont know is why that one stuck and why the first one was leaking fuel in the first place and wasnt now.... The guys at DA ran it and fueled it several times and it worked perfectly for them.. Weird....

Re: DA150 - Gas from carb when fueling
My DA150 is brand new and it ran a little rough on the low end. The engine never quit on me.
The problem was MY OWN fault. I installed a carbon fiber carb plate and didn't (obviously) re-install the diaphram correctly. Live and learn! I will be posting pics of my new Ultimate that I maidened yesterday. |

Re: DA150 - Gas from carb when fueling
They will do that also if the needle/seat has some garbage on it, good idea to clean it every so often.
