Mixture won't shut down my engine.
Posted: Fri May 19, 2017 1:51 pm
I just purchased a 1946 Ercoupe with the C85 engine. When I try to shut it down, the mixture knob will slow it down, but rarely shuts the engine completely down. I've tried it at different RPMs, but it still only shuts it down occasionally. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm very mechanical, but don't have much experience on airplanes. I'm thinking the cable stop may have slipped and not pulling the lever all the way back. Your thoughts???
