Hi Darin,
Just curious what you're using to monitor fuel pressure over airbox pressure. I
had a situation today where I was adding power for takeoff and couldn't get over
about 4400 rpms before the engine started sputtering out. After playing with the
carbs and looking things over only to get the same result, I happened to notice the
manifold pressure would peak at about 46". Looks like this was cutting out the
fuel. It was getting dark so I had to tie it up on nearby lake and catch a ride
home but my guess is the waste gate is stuck closed. Adding TCP to the 100LL
didn't help much and auto fuel is out of the question here because of the ethanol.
Seriously considering an engine swap. Maybe a 120 hp Jabiru?
Can't wait to hear some of your performance numbers. Hopefully your experience
with this engine will be much better.
