Webra Problems

[RC Steve Sterling]

Do you think the trash in the pump was there from manufacturing?? I have a
145 not yet run, and I am wondering if I should pull it apart first before i
run it for the 1st time.  Lee Davis has certainly emphasized the need to
ensure no foreign crud get it from the fuel system, but I hadn't thought
about manufacturing tailings.

  I just checked my backplate on my Webra 145 and there is a half moon track
on the top of the skirt relief on the backplate. My engine has been ran just
like Brians, lean, while I was trying to set it up. My sags came from trash
in the pump, that was there from day 1.
  I used a YS filter, Cool Power 15%,17x12 @8000 with pipe set per Lee's
suggestion. I also wasted 3 contests on this problem. I have 60+ flights on
the beast. (civil word). My cylinder, piston show signs of excessive heat,
also. If this thing gets rebuilt it will be over the winter months. I have a
cline regulator and plain B/P with a pressure tap on it now. It seemed to be
better on adjustments on the ground, but since the markings on the B/P, I
won't even continue, 'till I rebuild it. Let's see 60+ flights @ $550
=$9.17/flt + fuel.
  I know how you feel Brian. I now have my reliable YS 140L in my plane.

  See you-uns at the Nats
