[Alan]

Hi Jim,

If you load a hit n miss engine until it is hitting every time you are working it too hard.

"* In my experience hit and miss run cooler and the hoppers don't boil dry nearly as fast as throttle-governed. "  

I didn't think of that and it would made scense if the engine only fired once in a while. If the engine is working under load does it still miss or do they fire constantly?    Jim
