Got a lead here for a local nib 220. Not sure of the price on that one yet.

I did that on my 12.7: compression FA-180 and made just under 4 HP with 30% nitro. 8950 RPM with an 18 X 8 prop.
The pump is counter intuitive. Ii's an air bleed. The check valves turn the crankcase into an air compressor and you must bleed off pressure or you will literally blow up the fuel tank. A less dramatic symptom is that he engine will flood when the throttle is brought back to idle. Opening up the needle valve on the pump bleeds off more pressure and leans out the mixture.
Find an online manual for the FA-300 TTDP and it has instructions on how to set-up and adjust the pump. Properly set up, it works flawlessly.

Yes it has the bleed valve and I already have a couple of them here on hand as well/\.
I also have a 120 pumped dual plug that I recently went through.

Good job Dan, now we can all get the (big picture), What did you come up with, if I may ask, Thanks I've tried to make mine smaller but nobody seems to be concerned, so I won't be either. I would like to get rid of that big space in my posts though.

I have no idea why a very small number of my pix had the ? in the URL. If not for that anomaly, I probably never would have solved the problem.
Furthermore, I have no clue as to why this site differentiates between the URLs with or without the ?. I have not had this issue with any other sites.

If you are doing a step by step how-to instruction post with pictures accompanied by text, the thumbnails are usually too small to show pertinent detail. Having to click a thumbnail and open another page to view the full sized picture interrupts the flow of the article.
The format of the post should be up to the author, not picture nannies trying to force their preferences on everyone else.

I was joshing Dave about this:
The same pic was posted earlier. I simply resized it in "Paint" and posted at 10% of the original size.

A misunderstanding on my part.

Another advantage of using an image hosting site is that you can post your pictures from any computer.
I thought it was a pretty good joke.Don't let sr ruffle your feathers he can be a bit like 'rumpole of the old bailey' snobbish high paid barrister type character and suffers from attacks of the MIG syndrome (MI ssunderstood Geniuses) at times,somebody said it dates back to the korean war,but i dunno
Not blocked. It is just a controlled release
I will be relocating the atmospheric end to a better place.
With the separate intake and exhaust ports, check valve controlled the ventilation can be pretty darn good
