RE: THE most contrary thing I've ever owned
I bought my first plane a little while back and with not enough research...ordered an LA....
well... luckily before I installed it.... I did more research... and sent the LA back for an AX...
I know there are plenty of people here who have had no probs with the LA...
but from my research (No, this is not experience....just research, at the club, at the LHS, on the internet...) the best thing is to take the engine out and put another in......
Just my very humble, very new... .02
