style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Let
me first say to those who have achieved success with this engine --
you<BR>are intellectually superior, and you have magnitudes more patience
than I.<BR><BR>I tried over three long days to get this engine running, and
on the ground I<BR>thought I had this thing running quite well. It turns a
15.5x12 APC 4-blade<BR>at 8000 rpm, brand new, at a rich setting, with 1/2
tank run through it. It<BR>has enormous power and compression. Too much
compression in my opinion. I<BR>can barely turn it over with a gear reduced
starter. For me, it does not<BR>hand start easily with a chicken stick,
although the first day I had it<BR>starting by backing up the prop against
compression, when everything seemed<BR>just right. It takes a strong glow to
start this engine, especially when<BR>you are setting it up for the first
time, as the low end tends to be quite<BR>rich.<BR><BR>I studied material
and seeked advice on how to set up and adjust this<BR>engine. I spent a lot
of time getting the linkage just right, and then<BR>proceeded with care
through the points on the throttle/mixture settings. It<BR>seems
straightforward once you understand the concepts, but on both
trim<BR>flights, it died rich not long after takeoff. Today it died rich at
about<BR>20 feet altitude, and the landing in brush should have ruined my
brand new<BR>ZNline Supreme. It should have at least ripped my landing gear
off, tore a<BR>wing off, dented or cracked something. Somehow it hit a patch
of grass in a<BR>three-point attitude, and came out unharmed except for a
minor tear in the<BR>gear pant. Unbelieveable luck.<BR><BR>After missing the
Phoenix contest this weekend because of my troubles, I<BR>decided last
weekend that I was not going to keep this engine. I bought an<BR>OS 140rx to
replace it, because an engine like the Webra, although<BR>sophisticated and
well made, is too complicated for me. I need something<BR>that is easy to
start and adjust. I think perhaps one of my problems is<BR>that the engine
could be moving around too much on the soft mount. Perhaps<BR>I have it set
too rich on one or more of the mix points, or I need to spend<BR>more time
with this engine. Actually, I think if I spent another day with<BR>this
engine, I could get it running, but I have lost patience. Whatever
is<BR>causing my trouble, I want to be up front with the reason I am
selling. I<BR>ran the webra today to give it one last chance, but I also
wanted to get it<BR>running to know that it is suitable for sale on this
list. There is nothing<BR>wrong with this engine in the hands of a patient,
capable person. It<BR>certainly has power to spare.<BR><BR>It is a shame I
invested so ! much into this engine, and I did not get to<BR>enjoy the
performance. However, I am just glad that I did not ruin my<BR>plane. Oh,
there was no crankshaft damage during the off runway landing,<BR>and no
debris in the engine. I think it is a good engine if you know how to<BR>run
it.<BR><BR>Here is what I have for a discounted price (buyer pays actuall
shipping<BR>cost. I will package with care):<BR><BR>1 Webra 160 AAR aero
with M/C carb. Has 1/2 gallon of cool power 15%<BR>through it. Original box,
all manuals, decals, prop washer, -- complete.<BR>Near new, has only been
run over the last two weeks. $375.00<BR><BR>2 Koyo Stainless steel rear
bearings for this engine. These are are very<BR>nice bearings. $12.00
each<BR><BR>1 tappered collet, new - $3.50<BR><BR>1 ring, new
$22.00<BR><BR>1 bag (6 pieces) wrist pin clips, new $2.00<BR><BR>1 piston,
new $35.00<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>David
