I'm seeing this type of problem more and
more! Make sure you disconnect the lines and clean them out good!
Shop air and maybe some spirits in a pressure gun. With a mirror,
check your header tank. You may want to extend the cleaning right to
the needle valve in the carb, see what your mechanic says. Any sloshing
compound in the wing tanks?
The 'Coupe doesn't run well without a fuel supply
and glides like a manhole cover without power!

Who knows where else it may be loose and ready to block something else. Any doubts about removing it for repair/replacement have been eliminated in my mind.There is a local FAA certified shop that fabricates tanks among other things. My thought is to give it to him for repair (removing the sloshing compound and fixing the seam leak). While I'm at it, also will check all the fuel lines, pump, gascolator and carb. Am I missing anything?Darick============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
