    Welcome willy . I went through 100 mile two years ago on my way to Ak . I thought at the time it would be a beautiful place to fly over. ( we were in the motorhome).

  12. Jbird added a post in a topic Cg question on a mk 4   

    Thanks for the replys . I didn't understand that the tail needed to be level when it was weighed. After re reading the instructions it is pretty clear. I did level the plane to find the arm. It was +1.5   I will re weigh the plane leveled from the 3rd hinge rib. It will be interesting to see the difference. I will post the results . Thanks again Rusty

  22. Jbird added a post in a topic High idle   

    Hi all I figured out what the problem was . Apparently on a 582 with a clutch you have to file a small amount off the bottom of the carb slide and install a #35 idle jet. A member on the other site was having the same issue. So far I have filed down the slide, the idle is down to 1800 but I'm still very rich. I'm ordering the jets tonight I will post the results when I get done , thanks for your help

    Flyn the stock jet is # 55 , I have checked for leaks on the boots at the motor and the carbs. Not sure where to go from here. Any more help would be great. Thanks rusty
