Subject: Dyno prop bad, or pouring fuel out the tailpipe

I got some engine runs today.  I think I'm still running way to rich.  
I've had some problems with flooding, and the numbers from my dyno prop 
just don't add up.

I'm spinning a fiberglass sheath bar, 89mm^2, 1316mm long.   3500 rpm 
should require only approximately 15Hp.  The engine is sucking down over 
4gph at that setting.  Which would explain my wife saying I stink when I 
go into the house, all the mosquitoes in the neighborhood are dead, and 
my friend Dwight that was helping me today had his lips turning blue 
from the C0.

I've spent this evening modifying the tune to lean it out.  Just need to 
get me a real propeller built so that I can do some real tuning.
