Has anyone had problems with a 914 that won't shut down? On a flight today
everything started out fine until the first stop, On turning the switch to
off the engine kept running, shutting the master off did not help either.
The engine just continued to run. Turning off the fuel switch solved the
problem. Restarting the engine showed no drop in RPM from one set of plugs.
The flight home was uneventful but again the engine would not drop RPM's
---From one set of plugs (closest to the off position?) and had to have the
fuel cut off the kill the engine. I have not done any trouble shooting yet
but hope to get back out to the airport tomorrow (Saturday) or early next
week to see what has opened up in the system.
Anyone have ideas at this early point?
One thing about a Rotax they want to keep flying. I guess the plane just was
not ready to stop having fun today! :-)
