I have a weber auto carb on it and two mags run to a normal AC switch on the control panel. It starts and runs beautifully, but then it'll just up and quit. Doesn't matter what the throttle setting is, or how long it's run. The most it ran was four minutes or so, but the more I ran it, the shorter the durations seems to be between quits. When it quits it just quits, sounds like someone cut the switch, no sputtering, then it'll start up again nicely so I think the ignition is fine. I'm going to try spraying some fuel in the carb as it quits which will tell me if it is the carb, but does anyone have any thoughts? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:02:43 PM PST US ETAtAhQK0iXGnbOThdWGSqOPQJArlFpQ/QIVALv9BpCQz3VOlsN92G8yNmhiMgAE From: lshutks@webtv.net (Leon Stefan) Subject: Pietenpol-List: Price drawings --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: lshutks@webtv.net (Leon Stefan) "could anyone with the Price 3 piece wing, gapless aileron, front cockpit door on a flying Piet please comment on......." Jake, I bought all of the Price drawings and have built his fiberglass tank, gapless piano hinge aileron, and front cockpit door, but am still building not flying so I cant comment. I didn't build her..(him at the time) 3 piece wing because the Western Ac sup. wood kit I bought was set up for the Vi Kapler 3 piece wing so I went that route. I went for the simpler leaf spring tail wheel because it was easy and fast. The main reason I did the cockpit door was because I was building in my basement at the time. I could only build things up to a size that I could get up the stairs and around a corner. I could flex the fus. sides around the corner so I built them, but could nerver get a built fuselage out so building stalled. During a stalled construction period I added the door to the right side mostly for something to do. Afterward I regretted adding the weight because I am going to use the Ford A. At 40hp there probably never, or rarely have anyone in the front pit, so that convenience was wasted. Since then I have decided to re do my engine--insert bearings, Model B cam etc. for more HP. I may then have the power to haul passengers after all, and the door will be real handy. Stay tuned.

Is your tank vented? Is it at least 9 inches above the float bowl? Don
