We needed a boost pump for the right fuel tank as water the tank had rusted the pump pretty badly. We replaced that pump and were able to run the right engine on day two. So far so good.
Both engines ran okay but the right didn't like going much above 1600 RPM. Both of the carbs were overhauled just before the Harpoon was flown to California in 1994 so overhauling the carbs was likely going to be mandatory and the corrosion found in the right carb screen made the decision pretty easy. Off to Aero Accessories they went. The fresh overhauled carbs sure looked pretty especially next to the crusty looking engines.
