<DIV><BR></DIV>Eric:<BR>Agreed. I've seen some great results with the
Moki twin, if you can keep the rear cylinder cooled. You apparently
managed this. I can remember the first Giant Scale Air Race at Modesto,
Calif. where Bill Hempel flew his Dad's B-26 (as I remember) bomber in the
race with twin 3.60 Moki's Billy ran off and hid from the field;
he was just plain superior to the others. So............they changed the
rules for next year. Hmmmmmmm..............sounds familiar to me!<SPAN

[SPAM] Re: Moki 180</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Bob:<BR>I just don't understand why all this
pump/regulator/muffler blocking stuff is necessary. I've got 3 Mokis
and none of them need special treatment. Bisson muffler, muffler
pressure only, (no check valve, nothing but fuel tubing) and a Mesjlik
18-10 prop, and the thing will go up our of sight. Ask John Ferrell;
he was standing alongside me when I said: "John, hold my beer and
watch this! (Well, actually, you can disregard the beer!
That's just Southern talk.<G>) One of my conversations with
Garrard included a mention of pumps, etc. and he stated to me that "they
shouldn't be needed." In my case, and experience with 3 different
engines, (all of which I still own) that has proven to be the case.
One of the most reliable brands I have ever owned. And they all pull
like tractors.<BR><BR>Bill Glaze<BR><BR>Bob Kane wrote:

Have you ever tried starting the Moki with a light
backwards bump? The
engine likes to be wet to do this, but it usually
would start foward for me
when I did this. I just gave the spinner a brisk
twist to clockwise and
that would do it.
