My plane is actually a Trainer 40, not a PT40. It is over 20yrs old and i pulled it out of storage, restored it and started finishing learning how to fly. I converted it to a taildragger awhile ago to learn how to handle one since my next build on the table is a SS60.

Just to give the full story. I threw the prop and upon inspecting the engine noticed the front hub damaged and the front bearing rough from what looked like rust. I replaced them and the engine seems to run great again.

I wondered about the throttle linkage adjustment the other day but when i checked it it seemed to be ok. But now that i think of it when flying on saturday it seemed to idle lower than normal and had to use a couple of clicks to idle smoothly. If the 11-6 is the normal prop recommended for that engine then it is probably what i had before. If i adjust the linkage to idle a little higher like it was before it would run even faster than it does now at half throttle.

Maybe it's just me! Any suggestions?
