Subject: Pietenpol-List: Good peoplePieters,Last week I mentioned on this net that I needed help on my carb. Thanks for the replies. Before I could remove it from 41 Chalie Chalie we were called to Indiana for a funeral. I went to the hanger this morning expecting to remove the carb and ship it to N J . There was a memo taped to the cowl saying," Corky, carb has been removed, cleaned, adjusted and DON'T mess with it as the engine runs beautifully". All by some good friends. How bout those apples.It did run great and I did my first taxiing. Found the tailwheel oversensitive at first as its geometry is different from the rudder but after awhile I got used to it and all is well. Had another pilot play with it for awhile and his only comment was the a/s show 40 when the engine revved up and was not moving. Might better move the pitot out to the strut fitting. Otherwise, Corky is writing an invitation to the Fedman today. Hope he gets here before Christmas.Corky in La driving his T/D down the taxiway.________________________________________________________________________________
