OS 160 muffler pressure

[rcaerobob at cox.net]

Art Wagner, FAI, Texas flier, has the 1.60 setup with pressure only to a bladder MK tank, mounted right behind firewall.  He reports excellent and consistent performance.

Key is tank as close a practicable, and ON the centerline of the spraybar in the carb.  THAT is of utmost importance.  Also, use of the bladder tank ensures a relatively constant pressure on the fuel head than the traditional tank, IMHO.  It seems to be working for him.  

He does not monitor the list, and I do not have an email for him.
