Re: Re T/s Assist
      
      Here is an interesting side note to the carburetor issue.  
      
      All 3 factory overhauled engines (O360-A4K) that I've installed in the last couple
      of years I've sent to LyCon for port & polish.  2 of the engines I had torn
      down, inspected, and had the case "O" ringed.  
      
      On each of the engines, there were carburetor metering problems.  Ken returned
      the carbs to ? (I forget) to get them corrected.  One carb, for 28219, could not
      be fixed after returning it 3 times.  Ken ended up using one of his carbs so
      he could deliver the engine.  
      
      Whoever is making (actually fabricating) the carburetors has screwed up the original
      design.  
      
      I'm glad to hear your Cheetah is happy again.  
      
      Gary

      Quick followup,  We did the setup per Gary's info, seem to run okay afterwards
      but had issues and rough running on a second subsequent flight.
      
      Problem was resolved by installing an overhauled carburetor from Kelly Aerospace
      , BTW make sure you get the carb with any mounting ports for instrumentation,
      ours a JPI carb temp probe.  First one had a plugged hole that could have been
      machined but we didn't want to mess with it.
      
      Kelly took care of us by sending one with temp probe port already machined in after
      we returned the first one we got.
      
      Our old carb (an O/H) had been installed seven years ago.
      
      
      Thanks for the help!!
      Cheers,
