I'm pulling LuluBelle off the market for now. It's amazing what people want for $16k. My attempt at selling "as is" wasn't pleasant.
It has been a very frustrating experience, and there are a couple of things I think we want to address before selling.
The new carb stumbles around 1500RPM at lower outside temps, and requires an awfully rich setting on the idle mixture screw). The AvStar technician agreed a richer idle jet is needed, especially at lower air temps. Runs great at all other RPM settings, and we sure have learned a lot about carbs, Bottom line is that we have to pull the carb and have AvStar tweak it. Royal pain in the rear.
I think while we deal with this we will fix a couple more cosmetic items, and likely re-list at a higher price. It think the lower price actually resulted in some buyers wondering what was wrong with the plane.
And for now I'm just ready for a break from this experience....and I think the market may improve as we get into spring time, and as this driver license medical legislation moves forward.
