Hi, I have had to move the engine a little forward in the mount to get it to balance, and the fuel lines are as short as possible. The tank is wedged as far forward as possible and the distance to the carb certainly isnt long at all.

I am also on the hunt for another silencer, as I have mentioned the irvine silencer is bigger than the one supplied and so the pressure to the tank will be down slightly.

With all your help I'm sure I'll get there in the end. I have a trouble shooting list now.

The only question is in what order I will try them. I think I'll try

1) Pinch test with runway attitude - get it set up at that on the ground
2) then see what is does in the air
3) if the transition is still hesitant in the air I have learnt that it is more than likely that the engine is leaning out and so the idle screw needs richening and retrying ( I have been screwing the idle in hence leaning to try,and combat the "in air" antics.

Cant wait for the rain to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!! UK weather sucks as you would say.
