Here's another angle for the third start. The low speed circuit on the left carb is definitely wonky, and the tach did some interesting moves, as well. The carb will adjust out - I hope - the tach, well, I just hope it gets better as it runs in! Oh - you can see the little corner I had created in the garage to work on her. Now you know why I would just do it when the weather was nice!

Is unleaded gas going to cause any problems, like valve seat or valve issues?

Jensen! It's so good to hear from you!!! San Francisco? You should have sent me a PM! The weather was nice, until last night - now it's cold.

Thank you...it does run!!

Way to go Sarals, she lives again. Just like flying, you passed your solo. With a little fine tuning, you and her will achieve private, then it's on to riding her and testing your and her limits, next thing ya know, you have achieved commercial with instruments. Good job Sarals and a great journey for you both.
