Webra 160

[Joe Lachowski]

The 145 carb on the 145 is usually fine. It just didn't work on the 160.

>>Has anyone run one yet? Well, I did over the last two weekends. With the

>>Budd and a little bit of a learning curve I was able to get my first Webra 
>>160 running quite well. Put seven solid flights on it this weekend without 
>>a hickup. You have to be careful setting up the mixture points.  The first 
>>couple of flights the previous week were a little lean to my surprise 
>>(after several tanks of break in and adjusting mixture settings on the 
>>ground of course). Motor got a little hot towards the end of those 
>>flights. After consulting Jerry, I spent time carefully listening to the 
>>motor rpm at each point. I ended up richening just about every point a bit 
>>more,  especially the top end.  Over several flights on Sunday I  
>>eventually richened many of the points just a tad more with the assitance 
>>of Eric Hendersons' ears while I was flying the plane.

>>My setup is probably not optimum but is more than enough power to pull a 
>>11lb-11oz  Temptation through the Masters schedule. Right now it is 
>>definitely a keeper. Fuel efficiency is pretty close to that which I have 
>>been getting with the Webra 145. My setup includes a Greve pipe at 28" to 
>>first baffle, APC 17X12, Powermaster 15/16. RPM a rich 7500 to 7600. 
>>Definitely no substitution for extra cubes.
>>
>>I also tried the carb from the 145 on my other 160 for break in on my 
>>Focus. Carb worked fine on the ground but never could get it to run quite 
>>right in the air. Went every which way on the needles and the motor would 
>>still hickup and almost quite on inverted pushes before catching.
>>
>>Hope I didn't confuse anyone( including myself)<g>
