ys61 stII quits in flight
HI,
I was flying my freya with a ys61st2 today. Have not flown it for 6 months. New enya 3 installed. Engine suddenly quit in flight, autoed with minor damage to landing gear and blades. Engine was perfectly tuned and running prior to storage. Post- flight inspection reveals a lot of unburned fuel pouring out from muffler and engine. Diagnosis? Anyone?

Hi Dave,
I cleaned the regulator and replaced with new diaphragm. I started the engine but engine always die when the glow igniter is removed. New Enya 3 installed. I did not fiddle with any of needle settings. Could it be that rear engine bearing needs replacement? This engine was serviced by Rich Verano and he replaced rear engine bearing 1 year ago. Thanks.
