Not a 140 HP if it came from a C-140 it would normally be a 85HP if the 140 was STCed it could have had a 0-200 100HP.

I'm sure you will be deluged with information in short order. I'll bet that's a hot little Dude with a 140 HP engine, any paperwork come with it? I would just imagine the fuel overflow problem comes from not having the restrictor in the output side of the fuel pump due to the modifications. Talk to you later.

Yes I bought it without flying it, but it was out of annual and I wanted to go though it with a fine tooth comb before flying it. Anyhow it was fun but I had a couple of questions for you folks.... 1) It seems that my coupe has a positive ground! I'm a EE and did not believe my A&P when he told me. So I grabbed the multi meter and sure enough it has a positive ground. I went through the manuals and they all specify a negative ground. Any thoughts? The engine came from a Cessna 140, could that have something to do with it? I have no avionics yet (Just my portable comm)......the starter works correctly..... 2) I have been monitoring this group for about 5 months, and I have a problem that I think was mentioned before......during steep climb takeoffs fuel leaks out of the center tank, once in level flight, shallow climbs or decending flight no problems ..... sometimes during taxiing fuel will leak out the center tank....I checked the plumbing, everything is as in the manuals......I'm 99% sure the plumbing is correct....I'm thinking a pressure problem with the wing tanks....possible something plugged up....but that's just a guess...... Thanks in advance.... Chuck PS: I sent in a check 3 weeks ago to join the club, just waiting for a password so I can get into the members section.........maybe I can find the info in there and won't need to bug you guys so much...... ========================================================================== === To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/ ========================================================================== === To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/ ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
