Did not have a lot of luck. Could not get the motor to run right, slugging along until I had a deadstick when I dropped the throttle on final. Figured the fill valve was leaking when I tried several times to get the mixture set. Motor became VERY hot.

Pulled the cowl and ran straight to the carb, but motor kept dying after a few seconds at full throttle and on the last one it seized![&o]
High speed needle did not make as much change as I thought, but there was enough smoke to make me think it was not lean.

Pulled it apart when I got home and the con rod was pretty jammed onto the crank pin, with signs it rubbed against the rear cover[X(]. Pulled it off and could not fine anything visible, so lubed it up and worked it back and forth till it felt better. Reassembled the motor and had to do a minor adjustment on the intake rocker, but other than that could not account for this behavior. Wondering if when the motor heated up so much it prevented lube from making it down into the case.

Only real difference was the 90 degree adapter, which I sincerely hope does not strangle the flow so much I get inadequate scavenge.

On a good note, the plane tracked well and handled the dead stick perfectly.
