Jack- How are you doing with the MZ34 engine?  Haven't heard anything for a while.

Bill,

Finally, I believe, I have the Tillotson carburetor problem resolved.  The 

last time I disassembled it, I blew out all the galleys with compressed air. 

 Some white stuff blew out, but I  could not find it afterwards to see what 

it was.  They use a Eastman product to help seal the press in plugs.  I 

have found some of it loose on the control diaphragm side of the plug.  This 

carburetor was designed before ethanol, and may be the sealer is not 

compatible with ethanol.  After blowing it out I checked the high speed 

check valve action and it was better than what I thought it was on previous 

attempts.  To make it easier to start carburetor adjustment from scratch, I 

brought some adjuster tubes forward and under the wing crossover beam so the 

I could adjust the needles with the engine running.

Any way the engine is running, with good and seemingly stable EGT and CHT.  

Too early to be sure.  Tomorrow I will start unwrapping the Tiny-tach lead 

to get a good tach reading.  Then I can set the propeller and go fly.

Jack,

                         Good to hear a report on the MZ.   Are you using a Mister Funnel when  you pump fuel.  Two different times I have found white stringy stuff  in my gas. I dont know if that is related to the alcohol or not. I dont have a  clue what it is.  Hope things go your way!
