I have to admit that I have toyed with the idea of the Tillotson HD series. 
The diaphragm in this thing is what's used in the Ellison EFS-3A, and if I 
were on a tight budget, I'd be tempted to buy one and try it.  You can get a 
new one for something like $170 (I haven't looked lately), and it'd probably 
be worth tinkering with to save the money.  And used ones go for cheap on 
ebay every day, from Harley guys upgrading to bigger carbs.  Scuttlebutt on 
CorvAircraft is that it makes a fine airplane carb, but I can't refer you to 
anybody who's flown one.  Go to the CorvAircraft search engine at 
http://www.maddyhome.com/corvairsrch/index.jsp and enter Tillotson for 
details.  Yes, it has been used on everything from tractors to Harleys.  Do 
your own research and make up your own mind if it's right for you...
