I am wondering if I should pull it apart first before i run it for the 1st
time. Lee Davis has certainly emphasized the need to ensure no foreign
crud get it from the fuel system, but I hadn't thought about manufacturing
tailings.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I just checked my backplate on my Webra 145 and there is a half moon
track on the top of the skirt relief on the backplate. My engine has been ran
just like Brians, lean, while I was trying to set it up. My sags came
from trash in the pump, that was there from day 1.</DIV>
<DIV>I used a YS filter, Cool Power 15%,17x12 @8000 with pipe set per Lee's
suggestion. I also wasted 3 contests on this problem. I have 60+ flights on
the beast. (civil word). My cylinder, piston show signs of excessive heat,
also. If this thing gets rebuilt it will be over the winter months. I have a
cline regulator and plain B/P with a pressure tap on it now. It seemed to be
better on adjustments on the ground, but since the markings on the B/P, I
won't even continue, 'till I rebuild it. Let's see 60+ flights @ $550
=$9.17/flt + fuel.</DIV>
<DIV>I know how you feel Brian. I now have my reliable YS 140L in my
plane.</DIV>
