Here's 1 for you Al, what should I do Here...Its the Choke needle..? Huh

Yep, Fingers nailed it. Just don't use the choke. If you have a problem getting it wet to start, then just tap on the end of the muffler when it's spinning on a starter to wet it. It will go!

I'm using the ASP 120 and was thinking of using an inverted pitts muffler so I wouldn't have to cut up the side of the cowl. Are you using the standard muffler, and if so, will you have to cut the side of the cowl? Bruce

Hi Jack
Nice looking plane.
Don't have an ASP but on our 91's OS and YS we found the 13 10 prop to be the best. I believe they say a 13 8 for the ASP
On my old YS 91 I went as high as a 14 12 but the 14 10 worked a lot better . If I can remember correctly the OS was happier on the 13 10.

Kevin was here yesterday and remarked about that nylon or plastic engine mount. We use metal mounts instead .If your engine shows any sign of vibration you might want to use a metal mount.

Are you concerned about it cracking? Bruce, I'm just going with the side muffler for now, the Hole should be aft of the Turbine Exhaust. I'll post pics of the cowl tonight. Where's your Pics..

Hi Jack
I don't think it will ever crack or break, but we have found anything around 91 and up there is so much movement (Flexing) Yours might be a stiffer material but as you put more load on the engine (Bigger Prop)they tend to move around. The only problem with a metal mount is you transfer all that motion to your plane.
I soft mount anything over a 91
Kevin uses hard mounts and never seems to have a problem.

Hi Jack
Probably not enough.It would be good idea to run that new motor without the cowl at least for a couple of runs. That way the motor won't get to hot on the first run and will have a chance to cool down quicker. Then you will be able to see how much the engine is going to move.
On my shaky engines I always leave at least 3/8 around anything that comes out of the cowl.
If the engine head hits or muffler it can make an awful mess
on a fiberglass cowl.

Hi Jack
This has always been a problem.
I installed a tunnel and a small pipe to get around that problem on the P 47.
My Ulitmate have the standard muffler and also my Yak.
In the Yak I was able to install a Pitts style muffler but I still have to take of the silicon tube to take the cowl of.
On my Ulitmate I screw the muffler on after the cowl is in place. The fiberglass flexes enough that I can do this
I then use that 700 Degree silicon and hope my muffler does not come off.
