Hallelujah!!!
Problem solved without destruction. I bypassed the fueler(it's still there for fueling only)and ran the 1/8" tubing as direct to the carb as possible with a new hole in the firewall. This was not the major problem though. The low end "disc" was about 1/8" to the + side. I had no idea this thing was that sensitive but once I put it back in it's center position and did the tubing stuff it fired right up and ran up nicely.
The idle down low(not enough thrust to move the plane on pavement) was a little rough but a few clicks of trim and BAM! Solid idle and smooth transition to top end. Later I found a small tear in the tubing from the muffler nipple to the tank vent. I restarted it BY HAND and it ran great and I was even able to back off a couple of clicks of trim for a good idle. At full throttle the Menz19x8 sounds wicked. I don't have anyway to measure the thrust, but it's a lot. After reading sewerdudes post with the 1.60 and after knocking the gear off my Extra today(hole on taxi)I'm stoked to drill some holes in the sky tomorrow.

Thanks to all for the help. I'll post on the maiden tomorrow
