I’d think a fresh plug would be worth 1k rpm alone.

Hey Thanks!

To be honest, i was pretty tickled to have it even start up and run! Thanks for the help with the glowheads.

Once I get the Space Bug to make a lap around the Hill in the "Q-Tee", I'll take you up on your offer!

Later !

Hmmm, I was about to say your revs were good until I read Mud's post. I would have expected more like Babe Bee numbers. If you want to pursue it, you might check the prop balance, that can slow it down. A rubber ducky flexes enough to possibly speed it up. Maybe clean out the crank journal. Or if the report is accurate for a pure stocker, maybe it will gain speed as it runs in.
19k on a 5x7! Duck and cover! I'm willing to bet I've never benched 10k with my best Black widow.

Yeah...didn't know what to expect...but I willing to let it have a pretty easy life, pulling my sport planes around. I can always scratch up a suicide-hot-rod-Sure-Start if I want to tear open the Space/Time Continuum !

Well, I'll try, but if I'm allowed to pick the time, there's a Redhead in 1990 who will be my primary destination!

Maybe she'll de-ice your Cox and let you park it in her hangar.
