Pulse hole is on both side so you can flip the carb either way

About time you made it over here.

Yeah, its a little calmer over here..Lol

Good to see ya. Now get over to my thread about these novelties and start posting.
I am using the "Ron Burgandy" approach and a couple of guys have caught on but none the less it needs good info. Some Bull is certainly allowed but it does need accurate info as well.

Here's the latest.

Original symptom was at WOT throttle engine would peak and slowly lose rpm and quit.
Could not tune that out with the needle.
At the low end, it was sloppy rich.
Could not tune that out with the needle either.

At that point, and before today here's what I did.
Nothing below made any difference in the symptoms above.

Different IBEC
Rebuilt DLE carb (New Gaskets, Screen and Diaphragms all around)
New Carb
Trued up the reed cage and carrier as they were not true/flat. At that point the reeds would hold water and looked good.

Things I tried today.

New stock ring. (Waiting on a Bowman)
New Ignition
Different Ignition Battery (Hooked Direct)
Different Hall Sensor
Different Fuel Tank
Different Fuel
AC Delco Gasket Coating (In case of air leaks)

The only thing I haven't tried are new reeds.
Not sure at this point it's the issue, but I haven't tried it.
I'm kind a worn out

I haven't flown this plane regularly, but in the past it has been fine.
Don't remember exactly when the issue became apparent, but during the summer I remember
a day at the field that was very windy.
Since this is a big profile, upon landing and while idling, the wind picked up the hind end and it went
a$$ over tincups just sitting there.

Maybe the fact that it was running at that point, did something to the crank position.
A proverbial prop strike.

Not sure whether or not to send it in, or pack it in

Thanks for all of the help, support and ideas.
What a long, strange trip it's been...

Take care
Bob

When you get tired of beating your head against the wall, PM me for my address. I'll find the problem within 30 minutes, have it fixed and purring like a Chinese 妓女 30 minutes later. Shipping to my address would be your only cost. I have anything/everything it could possibly need.

About time you got here to "square" em' away and make sure your message drop down box is checked. I tried pm you and it rejected me just like my ex did.

At last!
The savior is here

Thanks Jody.
I was wondering if you were here, but didn't want to bring it up.
I'm not much of a politician and don't know who's who until they get here.
This place feels a little like "Cheers" to me.

I'll pm you and get her goin.

Any thoughts before you get the demon?

Thanks everyone for hangin in there with me.
I guess the thread will take a rest until Jody chimes back in.
I am so curious at this point.
Still not sure what would happen to the engine when it experiences the wind tip over as mine did
which stopped the idling engine as in a prop strike?
That's the only unknown left for me.

More to follow!
Film at 11...

Whew, now I can get some sleep
