The 91-110-115 series AC engines I have run were set in the spring, fuel components pulled, cleaned and stored in the fall . Back to spring and repeat. Very little, if any twiddling at all in flying season. Pressurize the tank with a few flips, open the carb for a couple more. Turn on the glow power and a thumb to forefinger back flip of the spinner at high idle and it starts. You can slam the throttle forward and fly it or walk away and marvel at the low, steady idle until the fuel is gone.
If it's not too much trouble, fire up one of your old 91AC's, put a 15x8 or 16x6 on there and report back what it peaks at. That would be very useful info for me and much appreciated.
BTW, I'm not a needle twiddler, more of a set it and forget it kinda guy.
