      Hey Gang!

      As of last Saturday I am the proud new owner of a ’77 Cheetah. My first plane.
      Like most newly acquired aircraft this one has some bugs to work out… The engine floods and quits on on landing unless I keep the RPMs up in the rollout. The carb was replaced last September by the previous owner.
      Any Ideas?

      Just an FYI to this.
      The carb was shot. I ended up having the engine overhauled and when they took the old carb off it was really bad they said. Turns out the carb the owner had installed a year ago was an eBay special with no paperwork.(I realized this after some digging in the logbook.)
