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.

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!!
