YS 63 question

[jivey61 at bellsouth.net]

Chuck
Run the engines without the cowlings. That will eliminate a heat problem. Next,What is common to both engines?  FUEL- Change to new fuel,(I know what you said). That will eliminate another problem. Work with one engine at a time that way ideas don't get confused between the two engines.If you feel confident to do it take the regulaters apart and clean the sticky oil and residue from them. They always work better.
 Good luck

Screw looked to be about 1 turn in from flush (factory settings)  Symptoms started after pulling the plane out of storage for a couple of months.  For that first flight, engines were completely cowled with no cooling whatsoever other than valve head sticking out of cowl.  Not much smoke unless you ran the engines very very rich when he had out on Mon.

Separate fuel systems, btw.  I asked him about after run oil, couldn't get a good answer there, but I don't think he used any. (good news for the silicone).
