Bill made excellent suggestions.
I want to emphasize one of his suggestions. He wrote: > Also try pumping the primer...in an > emergency, that should give bursts of power that can "make > the difference" in landing site choices. I once knew an Ercoupe owner who had repeated power loss while flying. He and his mechanic would search for the cause. Each time they thought they had fixed it, he would go up and fly. Several times, he would lose power and fly to an airport using only the fuel from the primer. This is something to try in an emergency. A very good mechanic once said, if you have power loss when flying, do not fly again until you know it is fixed. Sometimes we are sure the problem is fixed but find out, in the air, that it is not. Keep the primer in mind. Ed
