C150 Rough running..Advice please!!
Hi all, I'll try to keep it to the point!......
I passed my PPL in sep and trained in a PA28 which I loved and had total confidence in. As i'm hour building towards my ATPL I decided to get checked out on my schools C150. Its been sat for a while as no body uses it.
They got it serviced etc and I'm now the only one who flys it. (it also has a new engine with only 90 odd hrs).
What my concern is when I apply carb heat it always drops 200 rpm and runs like dog s£*t. I'm aware they are prone to ice so I use plenty of carb heat. probably a 20 sec burst every 5 mins or so.
What I'm trying to ask is do theses little machines just run poorly with carb heat applied or is it carb ice?? If it helps it always does it. Not now and then, if carb heat is on its running rough!
I ask as everytime i apply it im kind of looking for a feild into wind!!!
The piper PA28 hardly dropped 10 rpm and still ran smoothly.
Is it just a case of me being spoilt on the PA28 or am I right to be looking for that field??
Thanks people and safe flying....
Ben.
