Hi, Well I got my coupe flying again! Everything ran great. I followed the procedures in a 1940's manual for ground break in so after 5 hours ground running I was pretty optimistic. Temperatures were normal and there was possibly a bit more power. One thing that I have found for sure - you MUST run the carb heat just before taking off if you have a Stromberg. It is no good to heat it during a runup then wait 5 minutes for clearance to take off. My engine will almost always fail to produce the normal power after taxiing out if I do not run carb heat for 15 seconds just before takeoff. It will make around 2050 whereas it makes about 2150 or more after running heat. Heating it at 1700 reveals a drop and then a slight rise as expected. Glen Ward
