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

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".
