Just an update:


I removed the baffle from the muffler. I also reset the carb back to it's factory setting. I followed all of the advice I found in these forums on tuning my engine. I tell you this engine has come to life! It has so much more power now. I put my tach on the shaft and was reading 12000 RPM with a 12x8 prop. The engine is hotter, but not so hot you can't hold your finger on it for a few seconds.



Many thanks to everyone at RCU that has helped me get my plane flying.
