Charlie,

Hope you feel better soon!  I have used the Hopps #9 several times now.  I thought it was doing the job at first, but am not so convinced now.  Maybe the lead is not the problem.  The first time I cleaned plugs, the idle was very smooth again.  The last time, (different set of plugs) it made almost no difference.  Maybe it is just the engine, as I put in new plugs and it still idles a little rough.  Could be a small air leak I guess, but as soon as I add some power, all is well, so I'm not chasing it very hard.

Maybe somebody at the Rotor-Fest in Feb can suggest a cure.

I'm at home (sick) & cleaning up my inbox.

Bill, did you ever try the plugs cleaned with Hobbs #9? If it works I might try it on a/c plugs.

Thanks,

Charlie
