<DIV>Jon,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have the same setup.... I extended the pipe length by another 1/2"
(minimum) and I mounted the kline right against the needle valve (1/2" of tubing
- total) inlet. It is very important that you keep the reg. close to the
needle as well as try to isolate the reg. from hard vibration. I
wrap the reg. in a rubber band. I am running 15%, APC 17x12, hatori
header (and header extension).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I still have a hiccup if I fly around a mid-throttle, but quite rare.
It's getting hot here in TX so I've set the motor a bit rich and I'm turning
approx. 8000 rpm on the ground. I can send pics of my setup later
today if you like....</DIV>

<DIV>Alot of guys around here in Dist 6 are running the same setup, but using a
perry pump with good success as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope it helps,</DIV>
<DIV>Mark</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>P.S. I had to lean the low needle until it would barely even start,
then backed off (rich) a 1/4 turn. Now, I prime it, back flip, and its
running.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have a Titan, OS 1.60, Mueller header, Greve pipe, Ironbay regulator
before the needle valve, OS #8 plug, running a 17x13 with 15%.
Tank is monted over the CG. Hyde mount. As near as I can measure
around the header, I am at the length that Piedmont recommends for these pipes
on their site. Good power at full throttle, but midrange stinks, wanting
to load up at 3/4 throttle, and not transition to full throttle. Also,
the mixture changes in the air, upright to inverted, going rich
inverted. I have the regulator mounted horizontally about 1.5 inches
from the needle, do I need to mount it fore-aft like a Cline? Do you
think I need to extend the length of the pipe? Any carb adjustment
tricks? I'm new to pipes, so any info will help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, the original pressure check valve went bad before I even got
to fly it. I got a check valve (Foremost) from my local hobby
shop that seems to work, developing pressure and holding it well.
Have others had problems with the Ironbay valves?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>
