<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=245035500-01082004>Thanks for the
advice. 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>>
