Keith. I have been leaning out the low needle thinking that it was loading up on
low to mid throttle. When it died on the slow roll it was at about 1/3 throttle.
I have the pipe length set as defined on piedmonts web site. You can really tell
when it comes "on the pipe". This happens around 2/3 throttle or so. It always
seems to die "off the pipe". It has tons of power so I'm very rarely at full
power. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

setups sooner or later!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gordon, Hang in there as I had the same issues with
a Webra 145. Hopefully Keith Black will chim in here as he is a local Texas
Webra tuning expert. With 2/3 of a gallon run through the engine it's not even
started breaking in yet and probably is going lean on you from overheating.
<FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Don't ask me how I know, as fought the same
issues. It would run about 3-5 minutes and just die. It's overheating... Like
you, I checked all the logical goofups with tank setup ect but it all boiled
down to knowing how to adjust the pipe length/pump pressure and low end needle
on a Webra (After it's broke in). </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make sure your clunk inside the tank isn't
tangling up on the vent line, or touching the back of the tank, OR that
there's a hole in the fuel pickup line where it goes on the tube in the
stopper.....any of those would cause a time-into-flight
failure...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I'm having a problem with my Webra 1.45 and I
hope someone can help me out. I have a new Hydeout (thanks to the guys that
gave me the control throw advice!) with a new Webra 1.45. Below are
the details on the motor setup:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Prop: APC 17x2</FONT> <BR><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS">Fuel: Magnum #1</FONT> <BR><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS">Plug: OS #8</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Pipe:
Greves</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Mount: Hyde type soft mount and
nose ring</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Tank: Tetra 20oz, on CG of
model</FONT> <BR><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I have about 2/3 of a gallon of
fuel run through the motor, this Webra uses the regular carb with the high
speed and low speed needles.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">The problem is the motor dies when I roll from
inverted to upright. This happens mostly after I have been at idle for a
while. I'm flying the advanced routine and it dies during the roll out on
the bunt and the bottom of the double I even the slow roll. I have never
made it more than about 3 minutes into a flight.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">It seems to run fine on the down lines at
idle, like in the stall turns and the outside square loop.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS">When it dies it sounds like someone pulled the fuel
line off the engine, it just un winds. We tried leaning the low speed
needle, replaced the tank internal fuel line to the clunk.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Any advice?</FONT> </P>
