Hi All,

Well according to my friend, He has sent the engine back to where he bought it (It was New) and it was checked out and was supposed to have been ported and balanced etc. He says he still only gets about 5 to 5.2krpms with a 34/10 3W prop.

The 3W literature says this is about the smallest prop they recommend. Hes is running the Johnson Cannister Mufflers. He has tried other props but the engine has not responded well to smaller props, i.e., doesnt really turn up.

Hes is an experienced modeler and has other 3W's that run just fine. So he asked me to take a look at it to see if there is anything there that he and the people he bought from might have missed. He is getting the ignition modules checked out then he forward them to me so that I can run it to see whats going on.

I thought Id pick the brain pool of RCU to see if there was any "History" or remedies that people have come up with for this engine.

Ralph, Give me a call at home ( its still the same number) or email me with yours and I give you a jingle.

Best Regards
Carlos G
