This looks like entirely too much fun. If only had the skill and the knowledge. My preference is to do it myself. When I rely on others I'm generally, well, disappointed, they don't do it like I would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 All these carbs before breakfast . . . I'll need to spend more time on the NordicTrack to work them off. This carb talk reminds me of one of my first geezer moments. I needed a carbuertor -- about the size of my thumb -- for a small Toro 2 stroke snowthrower. When the kid at the parts counter told me $45, before I could stop myself, I said, "Forty-five dollars? In my day I bought a brand new Carter AFB 4 barrel for $30." I was referring to the one purchased from Sears -- oops another geezer reference -- for my Corvair powered 61 VW Beetle. The photos were stolen from the Internet. Mine is long gone. At 300 CFM, that was a lot of carb for a 164 cid six cylinder. The chrome intake tubes on the IECO manifold would be covered in ice in the winter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 While searching for a photo similar to my Corvair powered Beetle, I ran across this photo. Based upon my experiences with Corvair engines, I don't think I'd be comfortable relying on one to power an airplane. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the valve cover was supposed to say Corsair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Actually, some describe horizontally opposed engines, such as Corvair, Porsche, VW & Subaru as "boxers." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
