Using 3/8" lines has fared well for many of us. Also, minimizing the number

Yes . The mech pump is mounted so high it stops the gravity flow to the carb . That is why I will go direct. The only advantage of keeping the pump is to cover if the fuel vent gets blocked.The mech pump came with the engine. I will have to find the 50 bucks I guess.

Re: First run - G-CUIK's motor advice please.
Dave Richardson <dave@...>
Chris,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Just so you understand the temperature I was referring to by idling at 1200 rpm or so is not the CHT's or even the EGT's. CHT's, as Jim astutely pointed out, should be watched carefully so you don't overstress your heads and cylinders. The temps I'm talking about are the internal combustion chamber surface temperatures which you don't normally have a good way of measuring. I wrote an article on this issue for Q-Talk this past year and may be helpful to read because it does not just relate to RevMaster engines like mine. It was very eye opening for me learning about this and doing the research because I had always been told to idle at 1000 rpm's until the engine is warmed up (i.e. 200° CHT). This learning experience cost me over 13 gallons of fuel. Luckily it was before the recent price spike, though. BTW I had just one cylinder that would soot up, too, before I was told about this issue. The kicker was at low rpm's it would seem pretty smooth but it wasn't until I went to full throttle that the real issue with not having one cylinder fire due to the fouling was readily apparent. Good luck figuring out your problem. Dave Richardson

Chris, a manifold leak in multi cylinder engines would manifest as the cyls with good vacuum would get a good to slightly lean mixture the cly with bad vaccuum may get layed down fuel Ie no longer atomized due to the leak or may run lean if the leak is bad enough.

I read the description, should work pretty good .I think it would work better if the system was in a closed loop so you are drying the moist air in the engine over and over again instead of bringing the outside ambient moisture in as well. Might need more desicant.

Chris, Make sure you don't have an intake leak on the rubber/clamp/tube setup. I know it's a little hard to squirt WD40 with a fan that big that close to your heaaad! Also rotate a plug and see if the problem moves. The trick to running your engine is to NOT let the CHT's get over 400 or so. Cooling the cylinders down in between runs helps. I followed the 0200 break in manual and ground ran it for longer than I would like to say with no ill effects. You can do it just watch those cylinders because onced they're glazed you get to do it all over again. Just ask Mark Summers!

Leon,

I just couldn't let this pass without a comment. I would never encourage someone to steal intellectual property especially from an individual like yourself. But, I find the reasons you post for not sending electronic copies to be kinda short sighted. One could easily make electronic copies of the prints and also there is technology to reverse engineer those prints into a CAD format. I won't bore you with the details of all the manufacturing companies who have had to convert cabinet after cabinet of paper docs into an electronic format. I would pay more money, if that is what you are concerned about, just to have an electronic version since it would make my life easier. Having said all this.. I do appreciate what you are doing and do plan on purchasing a set of plans from you. -brad w.
