Flew my -8 for the first time today ![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
One of few issues is the carb. On the ground I must aggressively lean it to keep the engine from stalling. It was hot today, 95 deg, which exacerbated the problem of too rich. The carb is a MA 4-5, pn 10-3878, s/n 75086013 (float SB NOT done...). Can anyone point me to instructions on how to properly set this carburetor up? Perhaps it's more than a setup problem, perhaps not. For starters, what is a good starting position for the mixture screw? At full power the engine is fine, at reduced power settings it loads up. Thanks
