The idea about using a perry pump is very appealing. I have been running this
pump on an OS 1.60 in my Focus for about 30 gallons of fuel and it has been very
reliable. This might be something I should try before changing motors, its a ton
of work change to a different powerplant!</SPAN></DIV>

<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> </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>

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"

<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. In over a dozen
flights I have had only<BR>> 3 power on landings. I'm done with this
thing.<BR>> I'm interested in recommendations for a replacement 2 stroke. I
can't seem to<BR>> find a OS 1.40RX. I have had good luck with the OS 1.60
but I don't want to hack<BR>> up the fuse for the wrap around header.
Anyone have feedback on the Mintor?<BR>> If you are thinking about a webra,
