Webra 145 with Greve Pipe

[RC Steve Sterling]

I love this list. Another jewell. From Bill's discription, that is what I am
experiencing. Thanks Bill and Jeff.

Thanks for reply,

I just came in from doing some pipe tuning and found that, if I peak the
pipe, the engine won't come on the pipe from idle unless I pinch the fuel
line momentarily, then it "jumps" on the pipe and holds the rpm.  If I
richen it up a little the problem gets worse, to the point that the engine
will die from loading up if I don't pinch the line.  Lengthening the pipe
reduces the rpm but also softens the jumping effect.  I guess this is what
the MC carb is all about with the Webra 145??????

I think I'll take your advice and run the pipe longer.
