End of day report.


It's been a good day. I can now start the engine when it is cold and tune it to run nicely. I've got rid of the cutting out on idle down and the slow, mid-range and high speed mixture seems pretty good. Also, there was a high speed miss-fire occasionally earlier on; it is not occuring now.
Also, my right arm and shoulder are now not getting sore from swinging the prop; I am getting some old seldom used muscles back into condition.
That's the good news!

The not so good news is that the choke does not appear to working as it should. I have to slip the aircleaner off and charge the carb with 1 or 2 cc of fuel using a syringe. Then it will go after 6 or 8 swings of the propellor.
It still will not start when it is hot. It will fire and run weakly for a second or so, then run down and stop. It will do this repeatedly. It might be ok with a bit of throttle, but on my own I don't want to throttle it up while swinging the prop.

This project is alive again!
