KR> Venturi on a KR2S

KRheads, It has been stated: "I've been struggling to find a way to drive my vacuum pump on my KR2S..." In this day and age, why would you consider steam gages as something that you want on your KR? There are many options for electrical substitutions for steam gages that would give you a much b

Your welcome, glad you liked it. However, were I to do it again: instead of a v-belt I'd use a flat (micro-v) belt (ala revmaster). That would allow me to mount smaller pulleys onto the same shaft locations while still getting the same 3800 to 2500 rpm ratio between the pulleys. Also flat pulle

KR Heads Well that is exactly where I have one on the belly of my KR2S , which some may have seen at the 2008 KR gathering. I do have a suction gauge and a restrictor valve as the cruise speeds of the KR generate too much vacuum ( at 135+ mph). I have the suction set for correct suction pressure

One of the concerns with a venturi system is that it produces less suction at low speed and hence it takes longer to spin up a gyro to its operational speed, that is, a venturi is at its worst on takeoff when the need for attitude guidance can be at its most critical. I think it is important to hav
