Default fixed the prob

I was having problems with the tuning which I know I am good at... no wonder... don't laugh guys... I had the breather pipe and the tank pressure pipe swapped accidentally when I was cleaning and doing maintenance... yesterday I took it apart and there I saw the problem as clear as daylight... I felt like an idiot, still do...

Yep, it happens. To avoid things like this I color code my fuel tubing. I use blue tubing to the muffler pressure, pink tubing for the fuel feed, and green tubing for fuel fill when I use a 3 line tank setup. This way I can always know at a glance which line is which.

you'd get more spped by going with a 13X8...but more drag on approach....split the diff and go with a 12X7
