I have a PA 51 bought during March 1996 is this a series 1 engine. If so are there any mods needed to improve the run. The engine is new broken in excellent condition on the crankcase the #190 is scribed and pipe on mounting lug. It was bought with a carbon pipe from Randy but the sales slip does not say the model of the pipe.Thanks Walter

HI Walter,
Sonds like about the same vintage as my .51. Haven't changed mine any, and Randy has never said much about doing any changes to it. I hope he jumps in here!

Hi Walter
Being that old it is most likley a series1 Nothing at all wrong with them, they run very well. when and if, you wear it out it can be updated.
I have a combination series 1\2 PA 51 in my KATANA that I have flown for several years now.
best thing is to fly and enjoy
Regards
Randy

Hi Walter , Bill
Walter the new pipes are 1/10 inch larger diameter than the older pipes and are better pipes, so make sure not to make the fuse and thinner than shows on the plan. Also remeber to keep the header the full lenght, and trim the pipe only, it will last much longer this way.
Bill the main differance in the series 1 vs. 2 are the crankshaft and head was changed , the case and venturies also went thru a tweek at that time too. All the parts are interchangable so any wanted updates can be done.
Regards
Randy
