<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Moki has a fuel draw issue. The tank has
to be right up close behind the engine. Would need a fuel feed system. For
pattern use it is heavy and needs a big mount. No idea what muffler/pipe would
work on it either???</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Ron:<BR>I've been quite happy with mine; they have always
started very easily and run well. I've heard all these stories about
pumping/regulating them etc. but I honestly don't know why one would need to
do so, other than a defective setup in the first place. I just run
muffler pressure.<BR>Now, fuel:<BR>I experimented with some 15% that I run in
my Y.S.engines. As the Moki neared full throttle, I could plainly hear
it rattling. (with my hearing, that in itself is a minor miracle.)
So, I drained the 15% and put in some 5% that I happened to have. Ran
well, but after it heated up, I could detect some detonation. So, I
drained out the 5% and put in some FAI that I had been using. Not only
did the detonation cease, but I picked up some 400 rpm. I was curious,
so I called Gerrard, (importer, at that time.) Jim said that I wasn't
dreaming; the engine was designed for FAI fuel, and that they absolutely would
recommend no more than 5% fuel, and that to be used only in the winter to help
starting. I don't remember numbers, but I do remember that it will idle
for 5 minutes at 1800 rpm, and then immediately accelerate to full throttle
when asked. That's Jim Gerrard's criterion. I'm not sure my Y.S.
engines will do that. Since I've gotten so heavily into pattern, I have
done very little with anything else. So, the information is probably a
year old. The Moki's are in (Individually, of course<G>) a Midwest
Extra 300 which weighs 14 lb. 4 ozs. and I use a Mesjlik 20-10
prop. This is the only airplane I have ever owned that will truly go out
of sight straight up, (John Ferrell was a witness on this!) and will do a
true, round knife-edge loop. And, with the recommended Bisson muffler, I
get quite a few comments about how quiet the airplane is. It sounds
mellow, but I've never Db'd it. Fun to own and fly? You bet!<SPAN

<BLOCKQUOTE><!-- Arial --><FONT size=-1>To be honest, if weight wasn't an
issue, I would use the MOKI 180. I have not used an engine more user
friendly or more robust than that one, and has power to burn. Piped,
propped and mounted correctly, it could be made fairly quiet. It
was nice to just fuel it, prime it, one flip start it, and have it last
several seasons without any hint of a problem. No bearings, no rods, no
rings, or anything else for that matter. <BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I have
virtually no experience with MOKI engines, other than to sell fuel to owners
and listen to complaints from the ones who aren't convinced that MOKIs
want/need low % nitro fuel to operate properly. Does anyone care to comment
which fuel works best in their MOKI? <BR><BR>Ron Van Putte
