<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I finally got my Webra 145 back the week
before last after TWO MONTHS with a letter that basically said that nothing was
wrong, anyways thats a different story. Flew the plane last weekend and all
seemed ok for the first couple flights but I did notice it bogging down on the
uplines at half throttle and I would have to push to three quarters throttle or
better in order to restore pulling power, motor also seemed a little
hotter after landing on the third and fourth flights, I did not think a
whole lot about it and richend the low and high needle in preparartion for the
next weekend. Well went out today to get some flights on it and could hardly get
the motor to prime {twenty flips and still no fuel at carb?} I used my hand fuel
pump on the fuel jug to litely flush some fuel back and fourth through
the pump and tried again, this time it pulled fuel fine and carb was
dripping at about six flips of the prop and motor fired right up and ran ok
on the ground but was still sagging in the air at part throttle uplines. Landed
and put her up. Got home tonight and pulled everything apart {tank, lines, carb
and pump} for inspection. What I found was a tiny hair lodged under one of the
small u shaped valves in the pump, AH HA!! I gotcha. Cleaned all pump components
in a dish of alchohol and put it back together. Pump will now pick fuel
straight up a 24 inch hose in about four flips and squirt six inches out the
outlet of the pump. Will not get to try it again until next weekend but I
am sure this has been my problem. If your Webra pump quits pumping this is a
good place to start looking, very simple pump and easy to pull apart. Hope this
helps anyone down the road! Happy flying.</FONT></DIV>
