Ok...that makes more sense. I really didn't see anyone having torubles but I know yours did. Every time it seemed you found the problema nd it should have been fixed.

Little things like a cut valve cover gasket and so on...

Another thing to consider is cooling. It was fairly mild in Muncie yet if it was Hot when you got back home it could be a cooling issue. The coasting to a stop on throttle up is sometimes a sign of over heating.

The tempattion you have is probably good as far as coolign goes. Just make sure raw air is hitting the pump. Some folks have lined their cowl with foam from the YS engine box. The cut out basically ducting to direct air flow right onto the engine. The YS engine box foam is so good for this as it is light...and if the engine hits it not damage will come to either part.

As temps heat up you may want to look at this if you have trouble with heating. A buddy down in Georgia Bryan Kennedy had some problems with a 140Sport and 140L this spring with over heating and we thought the motors were bad. Turns out he was just flying on 90 deg days with high humidity. I know how the rest of the country gets with the humid weather. Its tough on engines. Here in Phoenix witht he temp today at about 110deg I know what temp problems look like. I would say in Muncie it was probably the best weather I have seen there on the weeend. Sunday night we stayed and flew till dark. The air was so awesome. Rusty and I were practicing the Finals sequence and unknowns.
