Ive just got home. What a drive 6.5hrs of trying to avoid everyone on the road.
I did adjust a couple of things namely the fuel pressure and I richened up the mixture.
The engine ran a lot better and managed 2500rpm.
We did three good laps. On the fourth the engine went off a little and one stack started blowing smoke.
I brought it in and pulled the plugs. The plugs on that cylinder were wet so I decided to call it a day.
Re the RAAF.
Ive got a pretty good relationship with one of the guys at point cook.
Richmond did have some merlin stuff with the mosquito they were restoring there.
Its all at point cook now.
If it turns out the engine has an internal problem ill be hunting parts again.
Would that be Dave Jones? I would hope so, my brother is a curator at the RAAF Museum and Jonesy knows his stuff.
