    Gary,

    I haven't been keeping up on this site in recent times, but was glad to see your invitation. Your experience and expertise goes into areas where I haven't been. Of particular interest to me is a way to better balance my prop. I don't feel my installation is as smooth as others apparently are, though I've never had the opportunity to check vibration levels another Corvair equipped plane.

    H iGary: Long time no hear, I guess things are quite in the Zenith world. How is things going for you? I,m back flying after the up-grade, airport shut down.

    I,m having high EGT and the tem's from one cyl. to the other is not to even. What are you useing from your air box to the carb? I have SCAT tubeing right now. If you are useing SILICONE hose tell me where to get it.

    Hi Gary,

    I will certainly consider that, but I will have to do more research. My initial research on the Ellison website looks like setting up the priming system when using the Ellison will be more difficult that with the Rotec. Did you run primer fuel lines to each of your cylinders?

    Thanks,

    Mike
