and still has more power then most other 72cc bore kits.

there is a contessa on ebay brand new for 230 with shipping is that a good deal. and what size carb would i need? how many miles do you have to break them in for?

westach temp sensor is best, made for small aircraft and reeds up to 600+F and has sparkplug sender reader

Try a richer pilot.

wow, i think the next size is a 52, run a 50 now. guess can try it again. had it in for a few hunderd miles, seemed pretty rich and never seemed to run cooler but its not a big job to try it again.
