Greetings:

I have been playing with my new(to me) 1946 Ercoupe 415-C.  On the 
flight from Merritt Island, FL to Thomasville, GA I had to cycle the 
right tank fuel valve on and off to top off the header tank.  If I left 
it on, then when the coat hangar reached the top of the gauge, a slight 
mist of fuel would be released from the header tank.  I talked to a 
mechanic friend of mine who didn't think this was all that unusual for 
Ercoupes.  The Ercoupe check pilot didn't think this was unusual.  
Another Ercoupe pilot told me I needed to install a restrictor on the 
fuel pump because the pump is pumping at too high a rate.  Anybody have 
a 'feature' like this?  Anybody know of a restrictor for the fuel pump?  
Any suggestions on deactivating this 'feature'???

Thanks,

REW
