REFLECTOR: Update on N173VS static RPM

[Burrall L Sanders]

If you want to check your induction for leaks and don’t mind getting under your engine while it is running, I have a way to check it.  Start it up and let it idle and take a can of starting fluid and with light little bursts spray the intake system joints and seams,  the engine will let you know if it is getting any of the fluid by small rpm changes.
Hope this helps.

And check between the engine intake and the servo... my engine shipped without the gasket there, which caused the loss of some hairs....

> Hmm, yes, several folks have talked about intake leaks as a possibility.  I kept thinking about intake leaks before the fuel controller, not the intake tubes that go from the intake plenum to the heads.  I had all those off to clean them.  I'll have a look at those and see if maybe that hot cylinder has a leaky intake tube making it run real lean.  Thanks.
