Randy,
I'm having the same problem. How high did you set the throttle?
Thanks,

Randy,
I too had throtleing problems with my coupe, especially after engine
overhaul. I had to have the idle set up on it, and have had no problems since.

Hi All,
I've been having some problem with my engine going from idle to full
throttle.
My Ercoupe is a '46 415-C with C-85 with O-200 crankshaft.
When it's below 40 F, with the engine warmed up, if you push the throttle
in even a little fast the engine will cough and sputter. if you push it in
fast you can even kill the engine.
The other day just after I landed I goosed the throttle a bit and killed
the engine right on the runway.
It idles great and has great power in flight.Engine run ups are normal.
Static RPM is normal.
My carb has no accelerator pump or mixture control. In warm weather I have
no problems at all.
It did this last winter too, but when spring came I forgot all about it.
Anybody have any suggestions? Mine is the only airplane that I've had any
experience with so your help is welcomed.
Thanks, Randy Hougham
