Default Local News

A Local new Station came out to the airfield to check on the progress.

I'm still not much of a fan of the lime-light

Default Carb

Also during the inspection, the carb mix valve shaft was worn out and needed to be fixed. ended up ordering a new carb. I ordered a new one, gave the the exact part number of the carb I had and got it in pretty quick.

When it got in, the A&P took one look at it and said it was for a Continental engine. Tyler's is an o-360.

I called the Marvell and gave them the engine specs and they told me that the carb I had was for a Continental 0-470... I have no Idea how it ran the way it did.

I sent it back and they sent the correct Carb weeks later. The Cables hook up totally different and much better actually so all in all, it worked out well.

Below is the old Carb and Mixture arm.. Look how bad the angle is...


This is the new Carb Installed
