A possible solution to your carburetor trouble would be using a modern holley sniper setup. It won't be seen and all the tuning could be done with a hidden tuner inside the cockpit. It's gonna be almost impossible to do any adjustments on a carburetor buried inside the blower housing. Just saying. Your southern Indiana fan Steve Riley. Keep up the great work. Woooooo....
@garylucier6817 Жыл бұрын
Take the machine shop the replacement carb to bolt up to the manifold and dyno tune it on there so all the carb adjustments are completed on the dyno. Then remove the carb once all set and install it back into the polished housing with a new blower belt and bearings freshened up on all pulleys. Adjustments inside that fake housing will be a nightmare though a few well placed and machined holes and plugs for basic carb tuning (idle screws/mixture screws, etc.), would be proper improves. Just so you can pop the shiny plugs and do final fine tune carb adjusting.
