I also have an EFS2... I burned auto gas when I was doing some static ground tests, and fuel flow tests.... then the plane sat for about 18months... when I went to start it again, It was fuel starved. The first time, I called Ellison, and they suggested easing compressed air to unstick the diaphram, that worked.
A year later, it stuck again... (again using autogas). I had the carb sent to Ellison for refurb/cleaning, and I only burn AV gas now. Don't want fuel starvation on takeoff. -- Ross On Sun, 14 Mar 2004 00:40:05 -0600, Don Sprague <donspra...@houston.rr.com> wrote: > I have an EFS2 Ellison on my 1835cc GPVW.
