Hi, All. Just want to update the note that my friend RC11 put here about our maiden startup up of my SAP 180. The problem was not the engine but the carb. It would not draw fuel as it should. I have a lot of years working with engines and before I got discouraged I called Todd Syssa and got no answer. About 10 minutes later Todd was on the phone calling me. We chatted for quite a while about all of the possibilities and I decided to tear down the carb and clean it. After a total carb disassembly I found nothing wrong so I blew it all out with compressed air and put it back together.

The carb works fine now and pumps as it should. So dirt somwhere had done me in. These things are usually the simple stuff. Todd runs the engines before he ships them so I must have got dirt in it some how. It is not the first self inflicted problem I have had over the years.

One great note of interest is: How often have you had a problem with an engine and made one phone call and in 10 minutes the designer, and manufacturer was on the phone calling you back to resolve the problem? I'll bet never!

Thanks for your support Todd. Product and support like this is the type of thing that will get our economy back on it's feet.

Happy New Year to All
Dave
