RE: GMS Engine Tuning Problem
Wayne, "Snoopy", all,
I also participated in this thread early on and even learned something new, about dynamic fluid flow properties...
Although I never owned any GMS engine, it seems strange to me that the fuel-nipple alignment 'bugaboo' affected such a large production volume of model engines, without anyone at the production plant bothering to notice... Without a positive step to rectify this production error...
...And from the sheer volume of onlookers in these pages, it does seem to be a very wide-spread occurrence.
If this engine is indeed made by the same company that makes Tower (and also Super Tigre) engines, I would also add the unseated carburettor that appears in the Tower web site photos of the Tower .61 and the Tower .75 engines...
Could it be a production error that does not allow the carburettor to be seated in its socket? Or is is just sloppy assembly!?
After all, this is a formal web site photo, Photoshopped and all... Not a sloppy two-bit novice job...
My belief is that such production errors must be rectified ASAP and 'on the fly', including backup fixes.
