<div>Aha! Interesting. I wasn't aware that there were two different carb's used on this engine. What numbers are on each carb? My engine is most likely later production and it runs fine in the Venus 2 with the tank on the firewall with reasonable prop sizes.</div> <div> </div> <div>John Pavlick<BR><BR><B><I>J N Hiller <jnhiller@earthlink.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content=Word.Document name=ProgId> <META content="Microsoft Word 9" name=Generator> <META content="Microsoft Word 9" name=Originator><LINK href="cid:filelist.xml@01C8D7CF.0C73D8E0" rel=File-List> <STYLE> <!-- #yiv459724840 _filtered #yiv459724840 {font-family:Tahoma;panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} _filtered #yiv459724840 {margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt;

I am currently using the OS muffler and the first motor carb pictured on the left has a serious fuel draw problem and the other one works fine with the tank against the firewall. I was already into a 1.20 size airplane when the OS 1.20 AX appeared on the market and I got one right away, which was likely early
production (left carb). The idle needle didn't withdraw fully from the fuel delivery tube at full throttle and the barrel has an air bleed hole through the bottom side, which opens to the intake around half throttle. I shortened the needle, which helped some but ultimately I added an exhaust restrictor (.350 ID) to increase backpressure before I got an acceptable mixture setting and transition. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></div> <div class=MsoNormal><SPAN class=EmailStyle88><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">I inquired about the difference but understandably got no reply.
