Hi Scott and all the others! I had thought of that earlier and checked. My vent is next to my venturi on the right side underneath. I checked it for a clog and ran air to see if I could hear it in the tank. Mine is also a gravity feed. I'm going to do the egt test for carb adjustment hat is called out in the revmaster manual. I might be able to get by with just a few turns out on the adjustment needle. (we can always hope ;-) ) SWRFI! I hope to make it. My Scorpion helicopter won "Reserve Champion Rotorcraft" in 2003 not that I think that I will win any thing this time! So many fixed wings so few rotorcraft!! Jeff hope to see you there at HDO
any other KR's going? Brian G.
