Just one thing though, that is a heck of a lot of unburned fuel coming out, really too much to ignore I think. Where can all that fuel be coming from? The carb and reeds should only be allowing in a little more than the motor needs, right? It’s not running lean and if I had it way, way too rich, it would bog down when I give it throttle and not idle down too? Do the epoxy thing and see how far I can lean it out, I guess. I just can’t figure where all that fuel is coming from, a gallon an hour at idle probably 85% of the time seems like way too much fuel consumption to me. I should be able to run all day on a plane with 6 gallons, shouldn’t I?
