Brodhead Pietenpol Association

Hey gang, this is not piet related but the info wealth here is so great, myfriend has a 46 ercoupe with a 85 cont.It starts fine when its cold but when he flies it for a while and lands, itdoesnt want to fire up. I suggested that it might be vapor lock, but theonly place where the fuel line could get hot is where it passes by the oilbladder. We insulated that part to keep it cool and still didnt matter. Anythoughts or ideas on this would be appreciated.CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2001 11:22:33 -0400

Since fuel mixture should be BETTER when its warm. Of course checking things like compression would be easy when the plugs are taken out and checked.(no engine expert however)-dennis________________________________________________________________________________
