Buff (and others who have had the same problem)<br>
About how many flights did it take to get the pipe blockage that you
folks are talking about? Obviously, it announces itself by degrading
engine performance, and I was curious about when to start looking for
the problem. One of my Hatori pipes had a lot of crud on the outside,
and I cleaned it with some Airplane Cleaner that I picked up at
Advanced Auto Parts. It took several applications, but did a fair job
of cleaning. But--that's not the same as the inside of the pipe. When
I was building engines, I had a 5 gallon pail of carburetor cleaner and
I'm wondering if that stuff would do any good. It sure removed all the
crud from a carburetor; while the race engines never got all that
dirty, I did do other stuff besides, and I saw the carb cleaner work
miracles.<br>
