Yep carb insulator and plated manifold need to see a Dremel.
Also no problems with Melody, but I always solder an additional ground wire between box/braid and motor.
Yeah i did that to mine as well.
I haven't flown it since the re-timing, but i have run it. It started sooo much easier. RPM was down a little to 6350prm, Vibes were about the same[

] I reblanaced the prop and spinner which were only slightly out so if the weather is good this weekend i'll see how she performs in flight.
Thanks
Dave
