Thanks BAX, I knew that was how it worked. I appreciate your wading through most of what I wrote. Pretty longwinded, but I was hoping to give "enough" info to debug the thing over the internet.

LANNYBOB, to show you what I think about this OS Max FL70 and it's problems and OSMax in general, after I drop this sucker off at UPS, I plan to swing by the LHS to see if they'll match TOWER'S price on one, so I can get the new Cub into the air. It's motor mounts are already drilled for it, and after owning maybe a thousand OSMax's over the last 30-35 years (OK, maybe only a couple of hundred), I know there is simply either something I didn't do right, or something in the engine that was just enough out of spec that it was a lemon. I wish the cars I've bought in that time had as good a record.
