More testing.

I've been fighting poor engine runs again. This time the engine would go lean after take off and then cycle between full lean and full rich. I cleaned the NVA and no change. Then I figured I could use the remote NVA's I had left from converting the OS engines to regular NVA set ups. After some tweaking and mount filing I had one installed on the spare Fox .40. It ran the best it ever has. Very steady rpm. I couldn't put one in the Fox in the Padre as it has been modified for a newer Fox NVA. I did manage to put one of the standard OS units in though. I havent been able to test it in flight as the winds were way too high. Today should be good enough to fly. I took the weed wacker to the dog track and cut the weeds that didn't die from the weed killer/plant food I sprayed on them 2 weeks ago. I even mixed it stronger than suggested. Even at the house the grass I sprayed hasn't died yet. Anyway, I have two Fox .35's in planes and they run like crap. I took my NVA idea and installed an OS remote in the .35 in the Magician. Again it ran very well and will be flown today. I also noticed that a lot of fuel was escaping out through the crankshaft bushing between the prop thrust washer and the case. I has a lot of crank end play. I cut a spacer from aluminum and put it over the crankshaft and almost eliminated the end play. It's down to about .001 now. OS uses a spacer on it's engines too.
