Hi Adam, welcome to the group! In my opinion, the boat is very quick to build compared to the rest of the plane. If I were you, I would build my own boat that is exactly what YOU want it to be unless you can find a boat that is exactly what you had in mind as the perfect KR fuselage. I would also b

I am no where near starting wood work yet but that does not prevent me from starting on other parts such as the canopy hinges and various other metal parts. The  part I am emulating   is Mark Langfords canopy hinges. I was wondering the procedure that He used to install them as what I want to do

I agree with Phil...the gasket set probably was interchangeable, but it's improbable that a tractor would need an "in-flight" adjustable mixture control. For those interested in the how the MA3 aircraft carb mixture control works, here's the inside of one, at http://www.n56ml.com/swift/mixture

So you're saying the carb that came off your tractor had the same mixture control as the one on your O-200? OR are you just saying the needle, gaskets etc were the same? All the tractor carbs I've seen have the knurled knob multi turn needle adjustment, none of them had the mixture control like the

Phil,     It has been several years since I rebuilt and owned my Marvel Schebler MA 3 carb, but, I can tell you that the MA3 carb I pulled off my Continental 0-200 was nearly the exact same as the Marvel Schebler carb I pulled off of our Oliver/White tractor.   You are right, the tractor carb b

I don't believe the MA3 is a tractor carb. Marvel-Schebler makes a bunch of carbs for tractors that look similar but what makes it an MA3 is the type of mixture control it has. For instance, there are 4 "styles" of "main jet" controls, in their manuals, they call them "power adjustments". There is

-Original Message- I'm still using a POSA carb with a mixture control. It is light weight and works fine. I have a Solex side draft out of a '60's VW square back that were only sold in Europe. The US versions came with dual carbs at that time. I haven't done anything with it yet. Joe Est

Has anyone checked out the carb's at(google) "marvel ma3 tractor carburetor" ? The price sure looks good. I'm running an MA-3A (I think that is the number) on my 0-200 and haven't touched it since doing a rebuild and installing it 450+ hours ago. I recall mine having the metal float an
