Runup would give me full = static on either pump. I take off on = both.
=A0
Some time later in the = flight here's what happens:
=A0=A0=A0 I'm be running = on left pump only
=A0=A0=A0 I increase = throttle=A0to climb
=A0=A0=A0 mixture goes = off the scale lean
=A0=A0=A0 = engine=A0falters
=A0=A0=A0 I switch on the = right pump (which feeds from a separate tank), mixture comes back up=A0and= engine runs normally.
=A0
I have the small Earl's = in-line filters with the conical (brass?) filter blocks. They always = "look" clean when I take them apart, but yesterday I tried blowing = through them. They were very restrictive, especially the left one. After = I clean them with high pressure air they flow much better, but I'm = beginning to think these filters are not good for our purpose. They're = too small and too easily blocked. Additionally there's no nut on the = center section so they're hard to get apart at both = ends.
=A0
I think I'll get larger = canister type filters with a=A0drain like Buly's. Buly - where did you = get those? Got a part number?
Anyone else have a filter = part number they can suggest?
Turbo Rotary Cozy = IV
47.5 = hrs.
