It is not a lag in acceleration. The problem is that the engine will die if I push in the throttle too fast.
I can pull the mixture and I get a 25-50 RPM increase before it starts to die so I should have the mixture just about right. -------Original Message------- From: aviationm...@aol.com Sent: 09/02/03 11:12 AM To: kr...@mylist.net Subject: Re: KR>VW/Zenith carb > > In a message dated 9/2/2003 12:18:41 AM Eastern Daylight Time, eng...@earthlink.net writes: > normal for a plane without an accelerator pump. I have used three carbs on my KR including the Zenith, and the acceleration lag is normal. However, 4 seconds seems excessive and may be the result of the flow to the carb. At full throttle shut off the fuel and look for a slight rise in rpm (25 to 50 RPM) as the engine starts to die, be sure to open the fuel prior to engine shut down.. If you don't get a slight rise there is a good chance that the mixture is lean at wot. If you get a large rise, you are too rich.
