[TPR] Houston we have a problem

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Dennis,
What are the symptoms of the engine running?  What prompted you to have 
the EFI checked?  Does it "feel" bad in some way?

Have you talked with Mike Trusty?  Has he given any idea what might be a 
cause of being out of sync?
Dick had it tuned pretty sweet, so it could be something benign like a 
fuel filter or FOD in a fuel log leading to one bank.

If all else fails, if Mike can give me a good idea of what to do, we may 
be able to do it in Ely.  Though honestly I -don't- want to be compared 
to the guy tuning the carbs on his ancient Jaguar a few ago and who (I 
think) never even started the race.

We might need a special tool or two.  If so, we have half a snowballs 
chance of getting what we need prior to flight.

Don't give up.  We can make this happen.  After all, we can't let Paul 
run and not you.  ;)

By the way, did you get Paul a waiver from Rookie school?

They have 2 other pissed off customers who have also been waiting a week plus for this loser to show up. Bad news for all involved....and I thought painters were bad. This beats the cake. Yea like you say John, "ya just can't trust people".
