I'm finding it a bit tedious to search out info on this. I have a Lanier Shrike running a TT Pro .46 and the engine goes real lean in high 'G' maneuvers and verticals. Tank is centered inside the nose and the engine is upright (no choice, it's a belly lander) so the carb is almost the same hight as the top of the tank (not ideal, I know). In level flight it goes a little lean towards empty but when I yank the stick it goes real lean and loses power. If I set it rich it's weak on launch and strong when I pull. I'm sure I'm not the first to experience this, so what do you all do to solve it?
I'm thinking a/ Uniflow tank set-up, b/ Crankcase pressure to tank, or c/ Option a/ or b/ with a regulator. Uniflow is easy, will it be enough? Case pressure is easy, but will the engine tune correctly. Regulator is expensive, can I avoid it?
I want (need
) to go flat out the whole tank so please share your experience. Tx.
