Well, I replaced all the fuel lines from the clunk to the carb, got rid of the T- fitting, checked the plugs and gaps, bumped the voltage regulator up to 6 volts, and richened the high and low needles just slightly. The engine ran grat today.........for exactly eight minutes until it went deadstick again. I think that makes like six deadsticks on this plane.[:@] I think I might just try buying a whole new carb. Open to any other suggestions.
