Hi Randy,

The evolution 36 I have seems to run well, its just that I noticed it loses a lot of fuel through the front engine bearing. Is there something I could do to stop the engine from doing this? Is this something normal with this engine. Doesn't bother me much because I'm using the motor on a profile plane. If I was using this engine in a build up fuselage I wouldn't care for the engine doing this. I know on my old Merco engines a better bearing was installed and it helped the problem. My Super Tigre 60 doesn't seem to have a leaking bearing problem nor my Double Star 61 RE engine. I believe the evolution 36 would run a little better if I could stop the leak. Maybe I'm just running the evolution to rich??? I tried leaning her out a little more and she still leaked, not as much but still did leak. The engine isn't very old was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem. I would appreciate any input, thank you Gary

Best way is to change out the front bearing with a sealed bearing
