Hi Paul,
Bud Yerly's advice is to disconnect the SS lines at the fuel pressure regulator,
rather than at the carbs. That seems to work fine.

Another event where we can meet up is the Homebuilder's dinner. It is Thursday
evening. Tickets are available at Homebuilder's HQ.
It's non-Europa, but we also plan to go to the Hartzell booth Thursday 2-4 for
ice cream with the RAF (Recreational Aviation Foundation). Look for the orange!
Jim & Heather

The hens are finally coming home to roost. Gearbox drive related failures ar
e starting as expected,
and there will be more, other parts will break as he vainly beafs up
piecemeal and does not deal with the problem.
Hopefully nobody gets hurt (again).
Regards,
Pete
