Hey Dave. On the L when replacing the carb gasket, am I supposed to cut away the little area to match the ys plastic gasket. Lemme ask you a Q about the engine also. I bought it about 3 years ago and have never ever had 1 consistent run out of it. I sent it back after I bought it. Rich put a new piston and liner in it and said it was one of a bad batch or something to that effect. I got it back and still continued to have problems with it every time I have tried it. I gave up on it several times and put my other L in the plane. Well I'm back to trying it again. Here's the problem with no more than 20 short unsuccessful flights on it since getting it back from Rich. Start it, set the high end, low is already set, regulator flush, sounds good. Take off within a minute or so of starting it, and it starts revving up and down at full. Fly it around to see if cooling helps, even though other ys's run fine in it, still wanna see if maybe its hot, doesn't help. Land, let cool for 1/2 hour, start it, try to set the needle and it still rev's up and down. I have tried adjusting the regulator 1/8 turns at a time, in and out. Seemed one flight to help about a half turn in yesterday. I thought maybe I was close. Today, straight from the after the first takeoff, revs up and down. It's frustrating, as you know. Especially since I have never had one good full flight with this L. Any help would really be appreciated. It's in a 2 meter pattern ship with a pipe, plenty of vent cutouts for cooling in the chin cowl. Thanks for your time!!!!!!!! Chris
Oh, I have set the valve's and put new gaskets on everytime I check em.
