Default RE: Eclipse rebuild and questions

Things have moved real slow!!!!!!!!!!

I got the motor running in the last week and was waiting for time to maiden it.

I've also been working on my new eclipse and Su-26 (though not much).


I took it out to the field today to attempt the re-maiden. Couldn't get things to go well.

-first the motor bolts came out
-next the nose ring bolt came out
-couldn't get the low end to sit right.

took it home and checked the diaphram......it was a little gunked up, so I cleaned it.
gave a manual compression and splash fuel in my face......out of the head.

I took off the black top and low and behold the gasket on the top was mishapen......so I took the new gasket for my 140L and replaced it on the the 140fz......Hope to reattempt the maiden tomorrow.
