I'd also bet that they weren't making their students lean the engine, particularly at idle. You really do need to taxi with the engine lean, but you then have to remember to richen up before you take off again. If you taxi with it so lean that if you add power it dies, then you'll remember :-) Greg ================================================================== TO UNSUBSCRIBE go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
