I suppose I better post instead of fielding all the questions about my motor…My 225 Ficht went down in 19 degree weather on the Saturday WWA tournament..(Not heeding the advice from the Evy folks on using Bio Oil…Actually, thinking that weather was behind us!) I filled up with Ficht oil. The lines went dry, and the motor shut down, exactly as it was supposed to do. It went into safe mode. All I needed to do was pinch off the ruturn lines, and pump the bulb to re-prime it. Vroooom! Off it went! Issue #2 happened last Friday before the LPO when my starting battery went down. Battery replaced, and Vroooom! Off it went. Neither problem was “Motor” related, but secondary issues created the perception that the Evy went down. The motor is running as strong as can be, and an FYI, I am getting 56 MPH out of it mounted in the #3 hole, and a 21/4 renegade prop. She absolutely explodes through the power band! I love it!
