Colin I think I'd rather have your setup than one that goes wide open. = One specific instance where this comes in handy would be short final. Stuck = wide open could be a bitch since you'd have to shut down and dead stick the landing. Again, I have absolutely no experience with aircraft carbs but = have lost more than a few automotive engines when the throttle return spring = has let go. Doug Rupert
Be glad you do not have my carb; I have to ADD a spring to counter the throttle return spring so that mine will stay put where I open it to or = it will behave like it does in the car and return to idle whenever I am not holding the throttle! LOL I will also add some friction at the = throttle quadrant for holding it in one place, but allowing for adjustments... Colin Rainey =20 --=20 No virus found in this outgoing message.
