Jesse,
Leon is right about the beer, but what he doesn't
know is that Fosters is readily available in the States - mind you it's made
over there under licence for local tastes and tastes nothing like the real
Fosters. I really hated to tell you that!
The Southerners have a little trouble getting used
to XXXX beer and sometimes refer to it as barbed-wire. Where as the VB is a lot
milder taste.
To me, Fosters in the States tastes like
Bud.
When I was in the US last a barman asked what
beer I wanted - I told him it didn't matter! Or something to that
effect!
George (down under)
Yo Jesse,
Thanks for the support about the "mule"
concept. I've been doing it this way for 30 years. Works!!
Real Men downunder drink VB (Victoria Bitter
- even in NSW), or if you come from Queensland (like
George), XXXX (Four X) is the only lubricant. Fosters
drinkers are now only one step removed form the Chardonnay Socialist
Set. Blokes downunder haven't been drinking Fosters since Barry
Hunphries started dressing in drag (as Dame Edna). Even Les
Patterson, our "Cultural Attache" is a spirits
man. So yes, you are a victim
of TV hype and deception (pardon the pun!!).
As for engine tuners in the USA, I
never thought that yanks were backward about coming forward to tell all and
sundry how good they are. (}:>) Downunder, "modest yank" is a
bit of an oxymoron. (ACRE's comptroller immediately comes to
mind!) Then maybe we only get the brash extroverted types here on
holidays ?? (Unlike all the really nice polite considerate
and helpful people who are on the Fly Rotary list!).
Cheers,
Leon

Leon: I couldn't agree with you more. I
personally think you need an old rx to run your aircraft engine around on
the street also before worrying about tuning for flight. Just
personal opinion; but, I know they not only seem to do better but it is a
heck of a lot easier to cost to the curb and walk home.

you mean foster's ain't ozian for beer ? has my
tv lied to me again/still ?

I'm sure that there are a bunch of people in
the USA (being the home of hot-rodding), who are far cleverer than
I, and are equally adept at the "black art" of tuning aftermarket EFI
systems. The trick is to find one in your neck of the woods.

actually the trick is to find one who will even
admit it and be honest about it, if there is such; then the rest gets
easier.

With new motors, my preferred way of
running them in is to stick them in a "Mule" and just drive around for 600
miles / 1,000 km or so. It's not just the miles/time.
It's the process of multiple heat and cool cycles which allows everything
to "snuggle in". Obviously this isn't practical for most
people. But I do get the best results with motors that have been
carefully bedded-in. They tend to last longer, and run
"sweeter".
