    I had 300 plus hrs. on a 2012. My first build went in the air in March it has 210 hrs. and my second build has 40. Make sure you clean the breather tube, inside the exhaust, every oil change as it will plug up solid. Blew out a front seal on the first plane. I use a bore brush, .410 or .44 is about the right size. Enjoy!

    Got it. It connects direct to the exhaust and not dripping on it?. The coking makes sense then. It sounds like a good system, And cleaning is easy. Hope everyone knows to clean it.

    Sounds like you should use a .44 caliber brush on a gun cleaning rod.
    You can buy one at any sporting goods store or on Amazon.

    I guess we need to get the carbon out of the CarbonCub.

    Carl, check out Service Instruction 00023 (SI00023). Really good description with photos. I've been using a brass tube brush available in many different lengths and diameters from several industrial supply houses. If you google it you will find many sources. Sounds like the .44 cal gun brush works just fine also.
