<DIV>Another good method we have used here in hot and muggy FLA is to do as Jim sez with tapping the backplate of the 145, but running the separate Perry P30 pump and stock webra 145 TN carb. Really works well since the pump is out in the breeze and gets plenty of cooling keeping it from cavitating. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The stock webra pump is suspect and has ruined many a practice session or contest for many guys, me included. In my experience the engine itself is excellent with outstanding handling characteristics, as long as fuel delivery to the carb is done correctly. FWIW</DIV>

<DIV>Gordon, BTW, the Mintor has more problems than just fuel delivery, You might want to use caution. I recommend you get the 140RX. replace the bearing with the stainless steel before you even run it and then enjoy a couple years of trouble free service. Many guys run this set-up with excellent results</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT face=Arial>Gordon<BR>I bought a regular backplate for my Webra 145,tapped for a pressure fitting, and installed a cline regulater and a check valve which comes with the cline regulater. You now will have the tank pressurized similar to a YS system.This setup broadens the needle adjustments and makes the webra run well.<BR>Just make sure you mount the regulater as close to the carburater as possible,like 3 inches. I used this setup last summer.I also had problems with the finnicky pump and this is the only way I could make this excellant engine to run reliable.<BR>You spend 70+ more and have a good setup.<BR><BR>Jim Ivey<BR><BR>> <BR>> From: "Gordon Anderson" <GAA@owt.com><BR>> Date: 2004/07/31 Sat PM 05:58:32 EDT<BR>> To: <discussion@nsrca.org><BR>> Subject: More Webra problems<BR>> <BR>> I thought I dad the Webra problems solved but this turns out not to be the case.<BR>> Today I had 2 more dead stick landings.
