Artisian:

Theoretically, the 220 will swing a 19X8 at 8100 rpm. Those figures produce 24.2 lbs of static thrust with a Zinger wooden prop. The Great Planes Patty Wagstaff Extra is a 1.60...

It sounds like your fuel pressure is a little high at idle. I could be wrong here. How far off closed is the LS needle? Just for giggles take an extra piece of fuel tubing, shorter than your...

Posting your E-mail address is not a good idea. P.M. works well for that. You might want to edit your user name and post(s). Of course you could like opening 100 spam E-mails a day.
