Engine cut after going inverted

[SRH990]

Where's the pressure pick-up on the silencer? If its at the top maybe you are getting oil inside the silicon tubing and cutting off pressure when inverted, then going lean - doesn't explain the split fuel tube though

It in the middle Steve.

Try swapping the fuel tube for non-gimp style tubing (you know, proper blue fuel tube ) and see if it still happens.

Rob its taken me months to get him to go Pink. Don't spoil it by steering him away from it now.

It could be just a weak piece of tubing?

He changed it to the new stuff I have on mine Rob, I bought a 2 mile coil to keep me going.

Works on my helis a treat..

And looks good.

It seems odd that the tubing is splitting when it's really not old... perhaps something else is causing it.
I know the internal diameter of the gimpy pink fuel tube is narrower than the proper blue stuff but I've yet to see that cause any issues.

I would be looking at other sources outside of the fuel tubing too - top of my head example being a fuel filter in the back pressure pipe being blocked perhaps?

Thanks Rob. Will have a look.
