loss of power and squirting gas on the block on hirth 3503.  replaced main 

jets to original larger jets, checked comp pressure, 150 psi each cylinder, 

changed spark plugs and removed badly stretched cht ring.  engine ran good, 

right to max rpm.  dont know for sure which one did it but it is done.  I 

suspect the compression was being lost on front cyl. to the extent that it 

was being dragged and could not produce enough power after 3000 rpm. 

anyway, you can put those results in your mind next time you have a problem 

and think you lost the rings or whatever in your kolb.  I know my old 447 

had ice once and I thought I messed up a piston but it was just carb ice. 

hit the carb enricher and it bucked and coughed but cleared it.  buddy said 

it sounded like hell from the ground but I think he was talking about my 

heart!  anyway, thanks for listening.  things might not be what they seem 

sometimes.  ted cowan, SS 912UL zoom zoom
