OS 160 setup question

[Fletcher, Richard]

Hi Karl, 

    I am using a Perry pump and a 20 oz tank mounted on the CG. I have been
careful to not run it lean but I think I will install a hopper tank so that
I never get a lean run due to air bubbles.



Thanks, Rich

Rich,

In the past two years running this engine I never had it backfire. You must
be running it fairly lean to start with. This is where a hopper tank helps.
It will not give you any change in fuel delivery from a full main tank to an
empty one, not until you run the hopper tank dry as well. What type of setup
are you using ?
