<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wayne, don't forget to mention that the crank shaft
was a bit loose feeling and could be moved from side to side slightly. This may
effect the diagnosis.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OS 1.40 RX. I know this has been
hashed and rehashed, but how do you get the sleeve out of this
thang? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I had a couple of dead sticks yesterday and
this has been a flawlessly performing engine till then. It went
lean on me on one flight and seemd to load up in mid range then died.
Put in a new plug adjusted needle and flew again. This time died at
midrange after some extended run time at lower throttle range. Checked
all fuel lines and filter, OK. Pulled engine out last night and
opened it up for the first time and it looked squeeky clean... a little green
from the Cool Power ful but clean otherwise. So I am going to replace
the bearing while it is open. I have about 100+ flights on this engine
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this type of running problem indicative of
bearing failure?</FONT></DIV>
