Status: offline 		Sounds good I'll leave the 16x6 on it, fire it up, let it warm up and run a tank through it and tach it for peak RPM then turn it back 200 to 300 RPM and not worry about the amount of turns on the needle.

Thanks guys.

I that doesn't work I'm getting a couple of these mufflers. Costs less than replacine a cylinder head and it looks and sounds better.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=411691#

I'm also going to put a Bru Line filter on the 150 and 180. Improves fuel efficiency by up to 30%.



I looked up the Bru line Filter at tower search option
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=Bru+Line+filter&FVPCODE=RF&search3=Go
and other links

Apart from the problem to fit to the Saito trumpet air intake I fail to see where 30% fuel reduction can be made

The muffler link infers some fuel saving ???

maybe I missed something ??

It depends how the engine is mounted. If it's mounted right side up or any way but upside down the fuel splashes out of the carbeurator all over the motor, motor mount and firewall.( sound familiar). The Bru Line filter keeps the fuel in the stack and therefore it gets burned.

With the filter on a Saito 100 on a MOJO ,mounted at 90*, the fuel burned dropped dramatically.

Just type "Bru Line in" the search line at the bottom and see hown many hits you get on this thread.

Status: online 		In all reality if you just tuned your engine up you shouldnt even know how many turns out it is Every setup is different .
I have to tune my one plane in at half tank and force it to idle at startup till it starts to lean out then only run it down 5/8ths. The beauty of a regulator is I will not have to worry about this anymore.

Status: offline 		Hi,
I just ordered a Cline fuel system. I spoke with Cline himself. He said that most engines will run leaner then normal with the system (regulator) until you richen it up. He also told me not to mount the fuel system to the firewall or any were else but let it hang close to the carb intake.
My best suggestion, before making any assumptions about what it will do or not do, is you call and talk to Cline, he is very knowledgeable. He is also very is easy to talk to and he said he welcomes any questions about his products.
Happy Flying!

Status: online 		Or if you already have used them you already know what they will do No further then an inch from the carb ,I use this rule on the Iron Bay also even though the instructions say other wise.
The engine will run at the set rate through the whole tank no matter if its full or empty. Otherwise I have to keep the idle up at start up due to setting the needles at a half tank.It clears up quick but still anoying.Always readjust your needles after any changes like this to the fuel supply system.

This also reminds me. Does anyone know where I can get the needle valve for the Iron bay? The Diaphram seem good but the valve stem is leaking by.

Status: offline 		I'm a big fan of the Cline regulator, too. I've seen my 1.80 idle in the 1200's and watched it idle for over a minute at 1350 rpms with the Cline. It idles smooth at 1600. and at 1800 on the test stand I can slap the throttle to wide open, and it transitions without a hiccup. I fly around 1900-2000.
