Today I put the cowling on, for the first time since getting everything else installed, and ran a test to see what the fuel distribution would be like. First, in the pics, you will see, that everything did not fit correctly the first time, so I had to make a booboo on one side. I will get the boss cut off of that intake and put the glass back in place before flight.
The temps were as much as 75 degrees apart between the hottest and coolest EGT, which is better than the 125 that I saw with the cowl off. Also, I saw no difference between the CHT. The CHT sender on each head is closer to the hot cylinders, than it is to the cool ones, so that might have something to do with making them closer to the same. Here are some pics of the cowl with the bumps and piano hinge mods, and the plugs after the test. http://krbuilder.org/CarbOnTop/index.html I do not notice any roughness, and may fly it like this, but I am still thinking on it. Hey Mark J, what have you found out about your problem? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2007 - KR Gathering There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R.
