Problem is there is no problem with the idle. Time to quit referring to bogus problems with the p ports. Jerry

Years ago, I was buying something from some feller and he was kind of high.  When I asked for a little better deal and said I was used to buying 'em from this other fellow for a lot less but he was out; he told me real quick like that he could even sell 'em cheaper than the other fellow when he didn't have 'em either.  I guess price is not something to even gripe about if you can't get 'em.  And, I will admit that the price might not seem too bad when/if you need housings anyway. Oh well, I 'll just stay happy with my junker, as long as it lasts; then I can worry about some of that kind of stuff. But, let's face it, if the pp engines don't keep running at low rpms and/or idle well, even though their high rpms can be right down our aircraft use alley with proper psru gearing, they will not be much good to us; it seems aircraft actually do have to have an engine that keeps running on/in slow flight, too.

I wouldn't mind spending $5000.00 to knock 50 pounds off my engine weight. I could then take out the 25 pounds of noseweitht, knocking a total of 75 pounds off of my 1150 pound canard.  I saved so much by using a "junk yard engine" in the first place, I'd still be way ahead of a Lycoming.  However, I guess it doesen't matter how much they cost if they are not available.  Paul Conner
