That is one of the things I like on carbs with float bowls. A little bubble in the fuel line might make it get a little rough, but it will not just quit like one of the injector body carbs.

Make sure you have a fresh air cooling tube to a box around the gascolator and put fuel line wrap (red fire sleeve stuff ) around the line to the carb. I havent ever had the engine shut down on landing but it did while taxiing at Sun n Fun last year. I enrichened the mixture a little bit and it stopped doing it. The puddle of fuel was because of the short time you had it with the mixture on - no shut off. Carb heat is not installed on mine - but I suck cowl air anyway. I have also increased the air inlet size a little bit and made the air exit a bit bigger with a ramp. Also - are you running 100 LL or 93? It makes a difference. Another trick is to retard your timing about 2 degrees. 7 degrees static - 28 full. It allows the engine to run cooler - no noticable loss in power. Just some starting points - if you need more let me know Bill - 41768 _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
