<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gordon,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry to hear your frustration is continuing.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In response to your initial email regarding your
troubles with the Webra I listed several things to try and asked several
questions to try and further diagnose your problem. However, the only response I
saw was that you'd changed the glow plug to an OS-F plug and you believed that
had solved the problem. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have you made any of the
other recommended changes? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Honestly, I was pretty skeptical when you said you
had fixed the problem with the changed glow plug and slight carb adjustments.
</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What Mike states about the engine being very
powerful is true if you get it setup correctly. <FONT face=Arial size=2>Unlike
Mike though I've not found it necessary to change the pump and I fly in Texas
where it gets over 100 deg. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Rarely do I attend a contest where someone doesn't
come up and ask what engine I'm running, when I tell them Webra they're always
surprised. In fact, at NATS another frustrated Webra owner commented that he
wished he had vertical performance like mine and he was curious what engine I
was running, when he heard I had a Webra he was shocked and stated that he'd
never see performance out of his like mine. Furthermore, he had already had
one or two flameouts in previous rounds. Between Lance, Gray and I we convinced
him to reduce the pump pressure. I helped him make the change in about 10
minutes (including removing and replacing his cowl). This immediately improved
his idle and eliminated his dead stick problems. This may not be your problem,
but my point is that setup correctly the engine is very reliable and very
powerful (not to mention cheaper than the other options). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you'd like to respond to my initial questions
I'd be glad to do what I can to help you work through the problems if you're
still interested, or you could take Jerry's very generous offer and have
him test it for you. I think it would be a shame if you changed to a
different pump before at least trying to adjust to the pump pressure on the
Webra.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whatever you decide, best of luck and I hope you
start getting more time in the air and landing under power.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I thought I dad the Webra problems solved but
this turns out not to be the case. Today I had 2 more dead stick landings. In
over a dozen flights I have had only 3 power on landings. I'm done with this
thing.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I'm interested in recommendations for a
replacement 2 stroke. I can't seem to find a OS 1.40RX. I have had good luck
with the OS 1.60 but I don't want to hack up the fuse for the wrap around
header. Anyone have feedback on the Mintor?</FONT></P>
