140L problem

[Todd Schmidt]

Brian, Of course, things like this never happen in the off season! Always right before or at a contest!!

Jim, Powermaster comes shipped in metal cans, but I do transfer it to a plastic jug. 

Adrian,  I checked the header, and there is carbon residue inside it. I'll have to see whats going on with the engine I guess.

Hey Bill,  I have a case of Cool Power.  Might have to use it in a different engine though!..  See you in Springfield!!

Thanks guys for your input!!

Todd

    Has anyone had a problem with an engine carboning plugs. My engine will run
    fine on the first flight of the day.
    Start the engine the second time, sounds good at first but will load up
    while getting ready to take off. Won't clean out. Shut down, restart, runs
    up good and then loads up again. Change the plug and everything is good for
    two or three flights. Starts acting up again and I find a carboned plug.

    I had this problem about a month ago right after cracking open a new can of
    fuel. Ordered new fuel (new order came in with same batch# as suspicious
    gallon) and had good luck for a couple gallons, but back to "not so
    good".... Could fuel possibly be the problem? Engine has run very consistent
    until now.

    Powermaster DZ 30
    OS F plug
    Hatori Pipe (new mid season)
    NMP header
    16X11 APC prop.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Todd
