FLZman,

The engine feels like it has good compression. Are there any checks I can do to ensure there are no leaks? Soapy water test around gaskets maybe?

I checked and cleaned the spark plug a couple times and it was pretty fouled up with black soot. I was using Amsoil synthetic 40:1 and it was leaving soot deposits on bottom of the plane from the muffler. I'm now trying the oil that came with an Evolution 26GT engine at 40:1. It seems to burn cleaner.

I will pull the carb and check the screens.

And yes I have talked to Ray. If there is no improvement as it breaks-in, he has offered to check it out for me.
