G'day

Thanks everyone for the comments. I hope to see the engine and its owner tomorrow and I will pass on your comments.

My feeling is that the owner is now so happy with the way the engine is going that he will probably leave well enough alone though he may investigate the carby input problem.

The ultimate test for an engine is whether it flies the model it is in. In its original form it did not. It was un-reliable and difficult to handle and did not fly the model at all well.

With the larger prop and the Macs muffler it is a different engine and suits the model very well.

I will suggest we do some testing and see what happens when the carby is inspected and then suggest he try some smaller props.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
