>> Guys,

>> As R. Lee Ermey would

>> Some guys asked about fuel....I went out and got a 5 gal. can of aviation
>> 100LL (low lead) and we

>> much difference.
>> My friend tweaked the spark up and back then set it to where it ran the
>> best during "performance"
>> tests.
>> I just thought you guys might be interested in the project.
