Jeff, check the throttle cable, where it attaches to- the arm, on the exh
aust pipe, if its worn it may-be bending, instead of-moving- the turbo
arm...At 700 hours I had to replace the cable=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A_______________

mp;jeuropa" <butcher43@att.net>=0A>=0A> We are stuck in Lamar CO with 914 p
roblems.- Have spent most of the day talking to Bud for ideas. Flew about
4 hours yesterday, stopped for fuel and lunch.- Takeoff was normal but w
hen leveled off, noted fuel flow was only 3.5 gph, not the expected 5.5.-
Increasing throttle gave more MP but same fuel flow.- Engine felt rough
or different than normal.=0A>=0A> Landed and inspected under cowl - no prob
lem noted.- We had just gotten fuel so thought maybe that caused it.- T
ried flight this morning when it was cooler, had to make emergency landing
because power dropped soon after takeoff.- No vibration, just wouldn't cl
imb.- Found that our fuel tank vent was plugged, cleared it, ran ground t
ests & Jim did 20 minute solo test flight with no problem.- Loaded plane
& departed again, engine power dropped just after gear retract, made anothe
r emergency landing.- (Obvious answer is don't let Heather in the plane
- [Wink] )=0A>=0A> At this point we're thinking pull carbs for rebuild.
- Any other ideas?=0A>=0A> Thanks, Jim & Heather N241BW=0A>=0A>=0A>=0A>
