Hi Rob,
This all sounds really good and quite simple. But don't forget, if
there is anything in your filters that is causing a restriction you are
only "relocating" it with the compressed air. It will still be in your
tank swimming around and will soon find it's way back to the fuel outlet
again. This 'could' be very embarrassing, to say the least, if you're
flying around and lose your fuel flow. (Don't forget, all your fuel that
goes into the carburetor comes from your fuselage tank so that should be
the first place to check, your wing tanks may be okay.)
Also, how about the sediment bowl at the bottom of the header tank
fuel
line?
If your engine runs okay at both idle and full throttle it doesn't
sound like a fuel restriction in the system, it sounds more like an
'internal' carburetor problem. But what do I know, I'm only a pilot, not
an A&P.
Also, you might talk with another mechanic before you go into such
an
extensive project. If it was your health you might go and see another
doctor for a 'second oppinion', right? Isn't this just about the same?
Good Luck, and let us know what you finaly discover.
