Ha. I call bull **** Tom Vaught!! Don’t tell me you never had issues when you tried to make new stuff work. Training or not. If you didn’t, you must have been the sharpest guy there! You should have been working for Airbus, Boeing, or Space X. They look for 100% perfect engineers or technicians like you. Maybe then, some of their new aircraft wouldn’t crash. That was only the idle issue, not the subject issue which turned out to be the missing choke and aluminum flywheel. Jon’s post prompted me to disconnect all the linkage to troubleshoot the idle. The difference was so slight but enough to cause a few hundred rpm increase when hot. Previously, I had adjusted the rod for maximum throttle blade opening on the outboard carbs. I decided to post the cause of the idle problem because we are all not Turbocharged engineers like you whose stuff runs great after YOUR preflight check!! By the way, would love to see pics /videos of YOUR running GTO some day buddy !!!
