B747-100 engine problems on early versions

[diddy1234]

Hi All

I have heard that on the early 747's there was a problem with the engines when taxiing or at stand stalling / cutting out.

I am trying to understand what the problem is, is it wind blowing into the rear of the engine blowing out the fame cans (unlikely I would have thought) or uneven burning inside the flame cans ?

speaking more generally, was there any other 'teething problems' with early 747's that were rectified on subsequent versions ?

Since the 747 took aviation in a new dimension I would imagine that there must have been a few hurdles to overcome.

thanks in advance.
