Fixed that problem, re-tuned, and the engine ran like a top the rest of the day. Great engine, I was gonna use it as a back-up for my +4C at the AMS, but now I might run it and keep the +4 as a back-up.
Glad that you were able to figure out what was going on and get it resolved! Now that you have some fuel through the engine what are your thoughts on it and if you do not mind I would be really curious to hear how you feel it compares to the 21+4 engine as far as performance is concerned?
