Subject: Pietenpol-List: Better SmokeI got the ignition system operational today, and tested the engine to see if I got the mags timed right. Hasn't ran since November, and she fired up and idled on the first blade. Sweet music !! I had wrapped the exhaust pipes with2" fiberglass (exhaust wrap), to keep the exhaust gas temp higher for better smoke, and better exhaust gas scavenging. It Worked !! Much more smoke !!Chuck G.NX770CGSmoke 'em if ya got 'em !!________________________________________________________________________________
