Well guys , we survived another hurricane in Sulphur , La. . Ike came
blowing in like it was mad at the world . The tidal surge was awesome .
There was / is water where nobody would ever believe . About 15 miles south
of Sulphur in Hackberry , the surge has all but destroyed that little
community . Some people had to cut holes in their roofs and be rescued by
helicopters . No one has been able to get there by land yet , maybe today .
Texas which is 25 miles west and beyond is another story . They are going
through what we went through with RITA in 2005 .
Now for my problems , I built a scale model of a FM Eclipse 1a , it starts
and runs beyond my wildest dreams , my problem is too much oil coming out of
the breather , it really pushes it out . Last night I realized it is also
coming out of the muffler which tells me I have too much oil in the engine .
My question is , how much oil ( oil level ) is supposed to be in the full
size engine ????? Once I can fill to proper level , it should be a real show
piece , thanks to Reg for leading me around like the blind man I was .
Below is a link to my engine being worked on while trying to eliminate the
oil problems .
