Don, et. al:
Having fixed the overheating problem, I can now start to isolate my power problem hopefully. At first I believed it was all related to poor compression which I've been working on w/MMO. But I my figures are high enough to suggest I have 3 working cylinders which should be enough for some power.
What is happening is I am fine in idle and appear to have throttle in reverse but in forward gear, there is little to no throttle. If it does not die immediately after going out of neutral then it will shortly and pushing on the throttle produces no rise in power. I have been told to check out transmission gearbox problems about which I know nothing.
It's not the (new) Indigo prop, not idle mix or timing, not carb float, etc. new rotors, condensor, probably not shaft/stuffing box related since this was freed after being stuck at a December haulout. Reverse might have a bad sounds, I can't tell. Choke has no effect on problem.
I need some ideas to start troubleshooting. Thanks.
