Kevin I have no previous flight experience with Coupes even on the one we are talking about, I just bought the aircraft and engine sent for major overhaul to ‘’LOMA’’ Belgium. They did it along with all engine’s accessories including carburetor, changed magnetos to Slik and the crankshaft with a grinded one to 0,10. The engine was braked in on a test bench and from my side for about 10 hours; compression checked and found perfect 80/80. Rumors say that this airplane was running like that before overhauling but I can not verify that. Kostas

What are the compression check readings on the cylinders? I wonder if the rings are properly seated yet or the cylinder walls have glazed from improper seating. Did you have this airplane and fly it before the overhaul or did you just buy it? I ask this to verify that the performance change is due to only the engine overhaul. Continental spells out what carb jets should be installed so I would not go messing with the jets other then to verify that they are correct. Did this carb work OK before the overhaul? Was it overhauled with the engine? Kevin1 --- In ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com, kostas vegas <constantinos16@ ...> wrote: > > Dear all good day > Β > Hartmut was right for my carb heat.
