Hello...

We've got an Airflow Performance fuel injection system on our M14PF but are having a hard time getting it setup so the engine runs correctly. It has the Barrett/Kimball injector nozzle.

The engine starts well, but the mixture needs to be pulled way back (1/2 way back from full) to idle smoothly. It won't idle at full rich. Advancing power to start taxiing is fine, but as soon as you start to pull the power back to idle the engine dies. If we run richer at idle it behaves better but then it's too rich to idle well.

We're pulling our hair out. We've tweaked the idle mixture linkage but can't seem to get around this problem.

Anyone out there have experience setting up the Airflow Performance system?

Thanks!
