Hey Dave, Actually, yes! This was the first startup and flight after putting on the temporary but non-cracked fuel cap. I think it has been cracked for a good while but was caught during the condition

@Geoff, no mine does not have SCAT tubing as part of the intake. I see what you mean though by your "clever" avionics guy and how it would collapse.

Thanks guys. I will double-check the manifold pressure lines. The ignition install had us "T" off the line for the Plasma boxes so it is possible something came loose. Corbin

You read my mind. I have been walking around the hardware store with mine in hand. I am leaning towards 3D printing a couple of replacements.
