Getting a baffle on an angle was too hard for my simple brain, so this is what I built. IT DOES NOT WORK. Either there is something wrong with my engine, it is starving for fuel or I still need more in the way of cooling opening(s). I have not flown with the cowl off. I will do that this week. HOWEVER, today, with this new cowl setup, I had pretty much the same experience as before. It won't run well.

When needled for the 9200-9400 range after a minute or so at high throttle (on the ground), RPM’s will sag into the high 8’s. The engine is hot. The needed needle settings wander around.

Maybe I need LARGE fuel tubing all the way to the clunk? I have not needed this on 180's before, but maybe this installation is different.

I am open to any good advice regarding the engine, valves, cooling, fuel and delivery, or whatever. Help appreciated.
