More Webra problems

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Another good method we have used here in hot and muggy FLA is to do as Jim 
sez with tapping the backplate of the 145, but running the separate Perry P30 
pump and stock webra 145 TN carb. Really works well since the pump is out in the 
breeze and gets plenty of cooling keeping it from cavitating. 

The stock webra pump is suspect and has ruined many a practice session or 
contest for many guys, me included. In my experience the engine itself is 
excellent with outstanding handling characteristics, as long as fuel delivery to the 
carb is done correctly. FWIW

Gordon, BTW, the Mintor has more problems than just fuel delivery, You might 
want to use caution.  I recommend you get the 140RX. replace the bearing with 
the stainless steel before you even run it and then enjoy a couple years of 
trouble free service. Many guys run this set-up with excellent results

I bought a regular backplate for my Webra 145,tapped for a pressure fitting, 
and installed a cline regulater and a check valve which comes with the cline 
regulater. You now will have the tank pressurized similar to a YS system.This 
setup broadens the needle adjustments and makes the webra run well.
Just make sure you mount the regulater as close to the carburater as 
possible,like 3 inches. I used this setup last summer.I also had problems with the 
finnicky pump and this is the only way I could make this excellant engine to run 
reliable.
You spend 70+ more and have a good setup.
