Re: (another) little prop/rpm question

Check the prop for diameter and pitch. Without that we don't have a clue if the prop is the problem. Does the engine have compression numbers within spec, has the engine been tuned recently, is it firing on all cylinders. I think so is not the kind of answer we need.
