Carb. issues are fixed!

Well, I finally got to the bottom of the carb. issues that I have been having the past month. I pulled the carb and took it to Scott at RHP in Tacoma and he stripped it down and put compressed air to all the metering block holes and the air bleeds. It turns out it had lots of white crud in it. I changed out a stuck closed thermatstat and put everything back together and it runs smoother then it has ever ran. I am now back in business with a smile on my face

. I know that is hard to imagine for those of you who no me.

That white crud was probably teflon tape used in the fuel fittings. You may want to remove all of it from any fittings that may have it, or it may come back again....

Hi Jake,
I think you forgot to disconnect the seconday linkage, WARP 6 is fast enough EH !

Hi Jake,
I'm ready to send the body out for paint next week, so that will take some time, looking forward to getting it back so I can put it together for real this time.
