Ernest,
You're supposed to point the exhaust at the neighbor's house.

My tuning skills are improving. With my
dyno-prop installed, I was topping out at about 4,000 rpm.
The spark advance was on the way down, but the AFR was on
the way up. Way up. To the point of lean cut-off. Right
before the stumble, at 3800rpm, I was burning approximately
5.25gph. At an idle centered around 800rpm, the burn was
about 0.6gph.
These numbers sound reasonable to me. Is this about what
other builders are seeing?
I'm adding fuel across the board at the top end, and will
expect a higher RPM tomorrow. The big race now is to get
home from work and find a hole between the summer storms to
roll the plane out, get a logging run and roll it back in
before the lightening gets it. Last night, I got in a hurry
and left both the garage door and inside door open. The
house filled with exhaust fumes to the point that all the
fire alarms started going off.
The wife was *NOT* happy with me. 8*)
