1.60FX Pitts Muffler pressure
Hello,
I am about to use a Bisson Pitts with a 160FX.
I have seen posts about these pitts mufflers not having enough
pressure. Should I plug one of the outlets ?

The only way to know if your muffler isn't delivering enough pressure to the fuel tank is to try it and see. If the engine continually trends lean, then you may need to increase pressure to the tank.
You can do this either by blocking an exhaust outlet or by drilling out the pressure tap and using larger tubing to the tank and in the tank.
Using larger-than-normal fuel tubing all around, including inside the tank, with a drilled-out clunk, will also make it easier for the engine to draw fuel. Many modelers forget that larger engines need more fuel, and that the "standard" fuel line may not be large enough. Don't forget to use fuel-line ties to make sure none of the fuel lines come off the fittings.
We hope you find this information helpful. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at this email address. (Please be sure to copy all previous emails into any future questions.)
