2008-10-12 Thread Larry H.
I have been wondering about the Ellison. I thought I read somewhere that they were not making the small carbs any longer that would fit a VW or probably not even small Cont or Lyc in the 50 to 100 hp range. Is this correct? I also thought that they did not recommend auto fuel in there systems, i

Yes and yes. However, they do say that you can use the EFS-3 on the 2180, you just have to "waste" a little bit of it. They don't recommend auto fuel however, Steve Bennett has been flying auto fuel in his for years. In the litigious environment we live in today, you never know fact from CYA.

OK, thanks Daniel, I did just go and look at their website, kinda got side tracked reading the arguments in the homebuilt lawsuit they have posted there. Might be worth everyone reading if you are the insurance type. I read that they used to make a EFS-2 that was for 30 to 85 horsepower engines

Yes, Ellison is the only place you can buy their carb new. My new EFS- 2A wit 90° fuel fitting cost me $861 and is in transit to me. Today, I did a search on eBay and there was an Ellison EFS-3B with just a few hours to go on the auction. Someone sure got a good deal on it because it sold for $4

RE: The EFS3 is now the Ellison carb of choice for engines which are used on the KR This is what Ellison wants you to think. If I had an engine larger than a VW 2180, such as a Corvair or a type IV, then I would agree with Ellison and that statement. However, I strongly believe that the EFS-3 i

I spoke to John Shafer about the Ellison on top of his engine also. My assumption was that if the fuel pump stopped it would shut the engine right now. I was very surprised when he told me that you could still run the engine up to about 75% power without the fuel pump before you noticed any probl

Orma, I don't know about the R version, but the "regular" EFS series of carb requires more than gravity feed to run, so it won't just run out with no pump pressure behind it. My limited experience with my EFS-3A is that the engine needs to be sucking on it in order for it to flow anything more th
