Thanks everyone for your suggestions!I blew air into the fuel inlet to displace any gunk and possibly free up any stickyneedle or float. Then rerouted the fuel line to make sure there was no possibleair trap, which I don't think there was, but did anyways.Started up on the first prop and ran great, no quits. Once warmed I tried fullthrottle, and noticed that the gas seemed to be burbling in my inline transparantfuel filter. I just felt that it wasn't getting enough fuel as i thoughtit should show higher rpms. Raised the tank fourteen inches and added three gallons, there was only half agallon left. got three hundred more rpms after this!So while raising the tank helped, it wasn't the original culprit. I can't sayif the compressed air helped clear or loosen something or if there was somehowa little air trap in the fuel line.Lots of little tweeks to do still.Doesn't want to idle low without choke, which tells me the idle jet is too small.left mag is retarded way too much and runs rough, etc, etc, etc.thanks again!________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Google gets more amazing . . .I tried this and indeed found poo-poo in Mesa, Arizona in the 4000 block of Fairfield Street, so DJ must have been telling the truth.I suspect the photo-satellite had passed over Arizona, shortly after DJ had the enlightenment, because all I found was the remnants of his experience and DJ must have already gone back in his garage to work on his pristine GN-1.________________________________________________________________________________
