I agree in my case it is only for backup in IFR conditions. But if it was tapped into the main induction runner the mixture would be adjusted with it in place, and would compensate for the extra air. There might be a problem at wide open throttle reducing the intake vacuum and not providing sufficient vacuum for the instruments..

It works well and I wonder if this would work equally as well as a primary vacuum source on other aircraft. Just a thought. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Lacewell" <kirk.lacew...@mostqualified.com> To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 7:23 PM Subject: KR> Venturi on a KR2S I've been struggling to find a way to drive my vacuum pump on my KR2S and just had the thought. Why not forget the pump and use a Venturi? Anyone know of a good reason not to use a Venturi? Anyone know of someone using one on a KR?
