His solution to the problem was to change his fuel selector for the new kind that lancair now stocks (they don't keep the older kind anymore). But I think he also mentioned that something in the selector wasn't seating properly on its 'O' ring as when he dismantled the unit they found that some fuel had leaked under the upholstery. If fuel can leak out then air can leak in right ? You do have 1/2 inch fuel lines don't you ? Regards, fili P.S Were you in Bend recently ? At precise flight more precisely ? If so I have a question for you. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
