I have finally gotten my FI system tuned in for descent performance.
I cannot tune out a SEVERE lean hesitation that occurs when either power shifting
or high RPM launches. If I pull the R's up to say 2K and dump the clutch she 
falls on her face, the same condition occurs when shifting at anything above 3
3-4K.
Damnably embarassing, not to mention hazardous to my engines health!
Could this be a problem inherent with the MAS?
The sensor is located about 18" away from the hat, would relocating it closer
resolve the problem?

Probably the same problem, but, she doesn't acclerate as well as expected.
The acceleration is somewhat ?wavey?. No jerking, just a funny fluctuation
as I start to fly. Hard to describe the problem as I am unfamiliar with EFI
systems in general. If it was a Holley I would say that the accelerator pump
was flucuating and slightly over-enriching the engine. I have played back
and forth with the accelerator enrichening without improvement. 
I am going to open up the distributor and ensure that it's advance curve is
correct and functional, as this problem almost seems to be possibly affected
by this. (what a setence, eh what? :))

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Yeah.  Smokey's the kind of guy you just love to hate and hate to love
or something like that.  I've met him a couple of times briefly.
I don't think we'd get along very well.  Reminds me of Perot.

That sounds about right.  1 BSFC would be about right for an alky engine.
1000 lbs/hr works out to 125 lb/hr per cylinder on an 8 cylinder engine.
That's certainly within the capability of modern EFI, perhaps with two
injectors per cylinder.  Consider the enrichment problem with an engine
running 30 psi of boost or 2 atmospheres.  I use the rule of thumb to
add 1 to the volumetric efficiency for each atmosphere.  The motor is
probably doing .7 VE or so off boost and suddenly the turbos hit and
the VE jumps to 2.7 or so.  That's almost three times the fuel requirement
with no change in throttle position or RPM.  Pretty difficult to handle
mechanically, surely not with a Hilborn.  From Smokey's other writings,
I figure he hates/fears electronics enough to not even consider anything
but a mechanical solution.  Interesting thought experiment in any 
case.

The Robinson Nugent phone number is:

I called them and they gave me a list of their distributors, based on zip code.
 It seems to me there were a quite a few distributors in the Minneaopolis area
(for Ron).  Whether they are convenient is another story.  They also told me
that we could order direct, but a $50 minimum order is necessary (+ shipping). 
That would buy about 200 carriers!!!!  Any interest in a group order?

Around last Thanksgiving I began to have symptoms like this.  I was typing
around 12-18 hours a day at the time.  I went to an orthopedic surgeon and
he advised me to mellow out on my work schedule for awhile.  Not an easy
thing to do when you're an addict like me.  I began to wear a wrist brace on
the affected hand.

Well I forced myself to cut down...but meanwhile a co-worker suggested
sellenium.  Ever since I started taking 50 mg a day I haven't had any
symptoms, and I'm back to 12 or more hours a day at the keyboard.  I also
have a hand rest in front of my keyboard now, but no more need for the
brace.

I was one of the lucky ones, no surgery necessary.  Another co-worker has
had the surgery and he *still* has symptoms.  Good luck to you Barb and
don't let it get you down.  Believe me I've known how depressing it gets
thinking you'll be permanently handicapped, but sometimes these things turn
out ok.

Hello netters,

I ended a close love relationship of four years about
four months ago.

Since then I have been searching for new relationships
platonic and romantic to avoid loneliness.

Unfortunately, the search has been filled with false
starts, hurt and disappointment. Maybe I am looking
too hard to replace the intimacy I had built up over
the last four years. I feel like an addict who had
used a drug (in this case--love) for four years and
now must learn to live without it until the time is
right.

Could any of you who have experienced the breakup of
a marriage or long-term relationship tell me: How did
you finally gain contentment out of the relationship?
Or did you ever gain the confidence you had in the 
relationship? Is there such a thing as "relationship
addiction" where a person must always have a relation-
ship to feel good about him/herself?

I miss the times before my long-term relationship when
I could go to the movies with my sister and brother-in-law
or a platonic friend and really enjoy it. Now I feel
the need always to look for a 'significant other'.

I have even considered getting a dog for companionship.
But for now I keep craving a relationship and comparing
those I do find (and I have been meeting some wonderful
individuals) to my "marriage". How is this comparison
trap avoidable?

I look forward to your replies! Feel free to contact me
by direct email too. 

Thanks

I don't suppose that many of us with cancer are too thrilled by the
survival statistics.  Still, I'd rather know than not.   The dread of
the unknown would, for me, make a bad situation nearly intolerable.

I want to thank all of the posters that have answered my questions that

Keep your spirits high, I know from experience that it helps you deal with

Well, not *no* reason (I may have carpal tunnel syndrome, I'm in a few
relatively stressful friendships, I've not been in a relationship in
a remarkably long time), but no sufficient reason.

I got lots of sleep last night, ate reasonably well today...
...and still everything just feels off.  Out of kilter.  Skewed.

I'm not even sure I'm "depressed" per se.  I just feel disgusted
with my life, disgusted with myself, disgusted with the mere
raw fact of existing and existence.  I know that sounds really
philosophical, but it's true.  I don't feel well today.

I feel like going to sleep, but I'm not tired.  I feel like
eating something good, but I'm not hungry, and even chocolate
tastes bad right now.  I feel like getting a hug, and there's 
not someone within 800 miles who I could trust to really want
to give me one right now.  

I feel lonely, tired, and just...worn.  Worn down, worn out.

So what do I do?  Should I pick up my Bible and read some? 
Should I go work out, and hope that the endorphins will kick in
before I get too tired for it to be worthwhile?  Should I go
to bed and try to *make* myself tired?  Should I go and look
for a friend (or is that just being dependent)?

Should I post to a newsgroup in the hope of getting some positive
affirmation from a motley assortment of complete strangers?
(should I make mildly humorous self-referential comments in the hope
of providing some slight amusement to myself and others?)


I don't know.
Thanks for listening.


Tiredly,

Mickey.


P.S. I'd really like to give someone a backrub right now.  Anyone within
20 miles feel like getting one?

I posted this a week ago, but I think maybe it didn't get posted correctly. 
Forgive me if you've already seen it.
===============================================================================
Two weeks ago I was stopped at a stoplight minding my own business when a drunk
driver (driving w/out a license) rammed into the back of my car going 45 mph. 
My car was totalled.  I was injured, but "not seriously." (or so they say)  My
injuries were/are: sprained shoulder, bone chip in elbow, compressed ulnar
nerve (makes fingers numb), sprained ankle, hairline fracture to shin-bone,
purple&green bruises all up & down my left side, & whiplash.
 
At first I was just kind of happy to be alive.  But now I'm getting more & more
impatient with *STILL* being in pain & exhausted & no energy & everything takes
three times as long to do (if I can do it at all).  Basically, depression is
setting in.  Also I keep having nightmares about car accidents.  Dr. says both
of those are "normal" following such an accident.  I think if one more person
tells me that I oughtta feel "lucky" that I was "not seriously hurt" I'm gonna
scream.  Also I feel guilty for still not being fully recovered yet. Like maybe
I'm Malingering or something (since I had such "minor" injuries). & I feel
guilty for not feeling Grateful that my injuries are so "minor".
 
Anyone else have such an experience, or have advice/support to offer?

Gary,

   I am sorely tempted to flame you over this one, but this is not the
proper forum for such bickering.  I will point out, however, that this
issue was, at best, tangential to the original thread, and so
questioning the genuineness of Mickey's feelings because of it is
little more than a non-sequitur.

   If something is haunting you, the feelings recur.  No, we cannot
change the past, but we can always change the way we react to the
past, and if someone finds that sharing a problem helps him to get
past the past and get on with new things, then I, for one, will not
question either his motives or his observations.
