> Rob ... you da man!

Andy! Thank you so much for the big "warm and fuzzy"! I needed a boost today and that really did the trick! Thank you!

>>  I had never heard of your reverse throttle and mixture trick<<

Just remember that particular trick is only good for FI Lycomings.  It wont do you a bit of good on a hot TCM engine.
