Thank you Bud and Peter,

I cleaned the port yesterday and it is intact (shinny like when new) so for now 
I just applied some high temp paste (bandaid) since I really want to fly a 
little and I donâ??t think the problem is serious enough to be causing 
immediate damage.

On the mean time will read Buds procedure for lapping and will prepare to do 
that if the problem persists. I think lapping is indeed the best long term 
solution of the port surface is not damaged.

And thanks for the gasket info Peter. I will keep it on file in case I need 
something like that in the future.

I guess the main concern now is how to maintain the system with CKT gone but I 
am fairly optimistic that we will find ways. And hopefully the Europa Club 
together with Europa will find replacements for the most common serviceable 
items like springs.

It is my understanding the CKT mufflers are quite popular in the light aircraft 
world so hopefully either someone will take over that operation or parts will 
be available to allow existing muffler repairs shops to service our systems.

Chris
