Status: offline 		I experienced one about a month ago. It was backfire city no matter what you did. I changed the Zinger 14-6/10 prop out for a 14-6 APC and it ran beautifully with no problem after that. It had acted like the Zinger was too big for it?

It sure ran nice after the prop change.

Was Morgan Omega 15%. Elevation 500' temp was around 60 F OS "F".

Enjoy,

Jim

Status: offline 		The TT91 is a great engine for the price, only thing is that the front bearing is prone to leaking. The engine will haul something like the WM Super Chipmunk (8#) with ease ... not 3D but with ease. Magnums I think are ok ... the 61 is a very good performing engine.

Status: offline 		I have 2 of them and like them both. Also run 14x6. Only thing I dislike is no rocker cover gasket and they both leaked. Built my own gaskets from cereal box card board. Still seeped very little. Need a little better gasket material.

Status: offline 		All of mine came with rocker cover gaskets. But I stripped the thread of one of the screws. Tapped the hole through the first fin and put a nut behind it to fix it.
