Del and others,
Well I finally caved and gave up on the effort to use 100LL excllusivly in my 690L-70
powered Mk-3. It seemed impossible to read the plugs and the jetting was
so off the wall compared to others with the same engine that I figured I had
better drain the tanks, put the stock jets back in and start over with pump
gas.
It really puzzles me as to why my 503 powered Loehle doesn't seem to care weather
you feed it 100ll or pump gas, but the 2SI requirs such a drastic tunning change
and really does not want to run in hot weather on 100ll.
Anyway, it seems like a differant engine with the mogas, I had it up to 5800 rpm
last night in level flight and saw 80mph indicated.
I could only get 5350 out of it with 100ll and the same prop setting.
I still have a lot of tuning to do as it is really rich on the top and the bottom
ends.
This engine is extreamlly finiky at high temps and humidity, but maybe that will
settle down as I get it leaned out.
Also saw 900fpm on climbout at around 5450rpm, I can't wait to get her dialed in
to see what the climb will be.
Today is a honey do day though, Ive got some make up work to do. :-(

Ours banked to the left. Fix was to put a lexan trim tab on the bottom of
the right aileron. So, Chuck's would need the tab on the bottom of the left
aileron to raise the aileron a bit and hold the left wing down.

sounds good, keep us posted,, i'm really interested in that 690L70 for my
twinstar
i've noticed that most engines are harder to start on avgas compaired to
mogas
altho hot start technique is possible to master if you find how it likes to
be started,,

Sometimes I feel that if the manufacturer thinks his engine will run best
on regular auto gas then perhaps you should use regular auto gas. If it ran
best on super or avgas I think that would be their recomendation. It may be
hard to believe but sometimes I go with what the manufacturer suggests.
