Yo Kirk,
Yep, the engine was turning the perfect rpm's. bummer.
============
Fuse repair (cont)
Got a few things done on labor day.
Fire wall.
New removable fire wall cut using the old one as a template. Used a hand oscillating sander to clean up the engine box. Re-drilled holes along the end for better adhesion. Used Hysol the last time, explaining why it was so hard to remove the box from the fire wall.
