Looked at ML'sweb page,great documentation,and saw the part about Ellison carb diaphrams.I had a diaphram go bad.It developed a leak,probably from old age.The good news is it will give you plenty of warning.The engine would not run at high power settings.After some head scratching I asked an engine guru what to look for.He recommended the Tillotson diaphram.With my inhibition to open parts that are sealed with lead overcome,opened it up and replaced the diaphram.Problem solved.Ellison does not recommend this fix and I totally understand their posion.Carbs are probably one of the most important parts on the plane.Tommy W.
