<DIV><SPAN class=099060515-12052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> I went with the
instructions and richened the transition - it's just like my old OS 1.40's - I
monitored the head with a laser temp - learned that from breaking in RC car
motors.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=099060515-12052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
engine was tight before it ran. You could feel and hear the ring/barrel
noise. Just sounded like a crappy bearing. Now it bobbles back and forth with
that "smooth" feel when you bounce the prop.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=099060515-12052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
used the F's to keep it running while "wet" So far the elements are
shiny. I will run a full gallon of sport fuel before I go to the 15/16. I also
tried to run some "straight" fuel at the end of the day and it would only do
it if I lit up both of the plugs. Definitely still have the settings very
rich.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=099060515-12052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Also
noted that it drips out of the carb, like the OS 1.40, when filling the tank,
Closing it all of the way did not stop the drip - Might stop when set leaner.
If not will fit valve or clamp. like the "old" days..</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Eric,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=413175914-12052003>Dean
here ... The 140 finds K&B 1-L plugs too hot, the "F"s have got to be even
moreso!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=413175914-12052003>I
found the same issue with needing a few minutes of running to loosen-up
adequately in order to be able to run at W.O.T.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=413175914-12052003>It
helps to fatten the mid-range with the idle mixture screw.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=413175914-12052003>You
will find it has a tremendous amount of authority over the mid-range mixture,
and can <EM>easily</EM> over-lean the engine there.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
