In reassembling my Coupe with my new engine my A&P reversed the fuel 
lines at the pump.  In any case I had specifically asked him to check 
that out and he apparently didn't.  Got suspicious after a couple 
engine runs and it looked like the header tank indicator was going down 
rather than up.  Anyway, turns out the line was backward and I was 
happy to find it before I took off for my first flight.  Just wanted 
others to know it is a possibility during the reassembly process and to 
watch out for it despite best intentions.  BTW, the engine is great.  
Two flights today.  Got about 97HP with the O-200 crank STC. Great 
engine shop (if anyone wants a recommendation off-line), not so great 
A&P in the install.
Best regards,
