I went out the other day with the Padre and had the bad engine run again. I changed engines and this one acted up too. It ran fine on the Twister. Now I'm thinking some kind of vibration is getting to the engine. The prop is balanced but the engine isn't really balanced that well because of the design. It needs help. I took a prop washer and cut two sides off of it so it looks like a pie slice. I put it under the prop washer on the engine directly in line with the crank weight. I went out today and the engine ran perfectly. I will continue to use it every time I go out to make sure the problem is cured.
