Default RE: G-23 problem

The tan Teflon pump diaphram is reported to pump the best. What carb are you using? Is this magneto or electronic CDI? Have you checked the timing? Have you tried a smaller prop? Are you adjusting ther carb needles only after the engine is fully warmed up? Are you using a heat insulator between the engine and carb?

I get 9300 with a a MAS 15x8 on electronic CDI using Coleman fuel and Pennzoil Outdoor 2 stroke oil at 32:1, through a Walbro 167 carb. The Coleman fuel is reported by some to run hotter than gasoline, but I have not had any sagging problems with the engine fitted to a 1/4 scale Sig J3 Cub. Just my experience. Good luck.
