<VV> Corvair 140 hi RPM No Go

[N. Joseph Potts]

Have you replaced fuel filters (4)? The sintered-bronze filters are HARD to
inspect - may look clean and be dirty. It sounds a bit like fuel starvation.
     Is ANYBODY else running a Corvair as high as 8600 feet? I believe (what
would I know at 0 elevation?) higher altitudes call for smaller jets than
you are using, but you've previously been using these with satisfaction at
your altitude?
