Yep changed carbie slides, and tried another box= my origanal box is a 2:24 turning a 56" powerfin prop ,so boought a 2:58 with a 50/32 prop(way to small) and it reved to 7000rpm,and the mechanic flew and struggled to keep her at 200 ft... so went back to powerefin on the 2:24 but only pulling 6000rpm
origanally was only getting 5800rpm from the 2:24 with powerfin but hell of a climb..lol..so the last common link that remained was the engine mount,and the mounts are soft and perrished.so we retightend them but no difference, the mechanic his assistant and I sat for a couple hours brain stoming for a common link but every thing seems to have been tested or changed, at 1 stage the only thing origanal was the mount the engines were bolted to ie=my plane. About 5-7 years ago I had another plane with exact same engine(447 single carb.points) and it never skipped a beat? NO bogging? Now my prob if lets say I fly like this and in cruise its fine but landing?1 end of my runway requires a high approach so at 500ft I bring to idle and set glide and down I go Now if once im near the ground what if I need to go around(a flock of birds just flies in front?) and I push full throttle as a reflex(as we do) now she will more than likely bog(as the long idle garentees a bog down with fast excell....worrying!!!!!!
