I finally ran the new(old) HIO360. Engine is fine as far as I can tell but I believe the previous owner messed-up the linkage on the servo. I could fudge the mixture/throttle and make it run but not right. I'm going to put the 320 servo on and see how it does and then send it to Airflow Performance.
I think I screwed my scale. I've used one scale effectively keeping it level with scale sized blocks. I reweighed the airplane with IO320 before the change and kept it level. New weight made sense within a couple pounds.
Left gear weight with the 360 made since about 10# more. When I weighed the right side I got an ERROR and found I had managed to get a short 1/2" block under the scale. While I can weigh myself and get the same every time, heavier weights seem all over the place. If I now believed it the plane lost 80#. Can't see anything bent...I even weighed the Spezio and it lost 50#. I better call my buddy with aircraft scales. I need to get this right as I'm building will a new mount.
