Cline Regulator fuel line plumbing

[Chuck Czarnik]

 Tried both ways.  My setup was with OS 1.60, Hatori wraparound, Greve pipe.  When the regulator was between the needle and carb, it would go rich on transition to full throttle, and I couldn't dial it out.  I tinkered for quite a while with it in that setup.  Then I moved it in front of the remote needle (per Eric's article), and things are now much better.  The nice thing is that it's a very easy swap.. The regulator is supported by fuel line, so it's pretty easy to try both ways.  Hope this helps, Chuck

I just received my Cline regulator.  I hope to install it in my Hangar 9
Edge 540T with a OS 160FX engine.  I noticed in Eric's article in the
K-factor, he had installed the regulator between the remote needle valve
and the fuel tank.  The instructions from Cline has a revision that says
to install the regulator between the needle valve and the carburetor
fuel inlet.  Has anyone tried both methods?  What method will give me
the best mid range transition?
 
It's kind of overcast and lousy flying weather in Houston.  Looks like a
good day to install my Cline regulator.
 
Thanks,
 
Steve
