Thanks for the thoughts, Al. The mags were rebuilt just before I took possession so they don't have more than 45 hours on them. The issue of something on the intake side might be something to look at if we don't find a sticking valve. I probably need to address that at any rate, since I don't really know if my mixture works or not. With the LAX TCA overhead, I don't get much opportunity to go above 4,000 MSL. When I get my ticket, I'll be able to get to places where I can climb to altitude and see how the mixture is working.
Thanks.

While everyone loves to cry "Cylinder", you need to also check the health of the entire fuel system. An intake leak can create havoc and if your lean control doesn't seem to do anything it's another indication of something amiss. Don't discount those mags either. If they're not delivering the goods to the plugs, you may not be burning all the fuel in the chamber. > > Keep us posted, we all need the learning experience. > > Al DeMarzo > Visit the Ercoupe Swap Page > Free, Easy and No Membership Required > http://www.ercoupeowners.com/swap/swapbook.htm > > >
