not very good and at best will only slow down the leak, not stop it,

That's because that is what a POSA does, LEAK.

There was on my Revflow once. Don't know about a Posa. It was on the mixture
adjustment shaft. Pretty easy to replace.

Rob you turned a light on...my mixture control is set at full rich. I'll
adjust the mixture control cable to lean a few turn and see if the leak stops.
I have it set at full rich. I cannot turn it any further to richdah!

I'm looking at replacing the POSA carb on my plane with an Ellison TBI.
Main reason for doing this is that I want mixture control, due to the
environment I'll be flying in when I get the plane home (WA state...).
Other reason is the well-known POSA reputation for 'problems'.

POSA carbs were sold by HAPI (Homebuilt Aircraft Products International). They
did not invent them. Rex, Phyliss, Patrick and Robin Taylor sold the POSA
Carb, POSA Super Carb, and the Ultra Carb during the period of time that HAPI
was in business. A lot more was learned about the carb and it
Posa and Posa type problems? I have a lengthy VHS of Rex Taylor and his son,

course video on the Posa. It starts with bench dis-assembly, upgrading of older
models, charts on needle selection with explanation, and mu

Hi, list;
I didn't get any hits from the archives on the Posa.
When I bought the engine,(1834cc VW), it came with it unattached in a
box with NO instructions.
I'd like to learn more on installation.
And, what are the two threaded holes on the opposite end from the fuel

Bad idea for the POSA. It leaks gas, on purpose, and I don't think that
dumping gas on top of a hot engine is a good idea. Steve Bennett did this
with an Ellison. Also, you cannot use a fuel pump with a POSA.
There are planes flying with the POSA, but there are many more in the trash

Hello Pat
I ran a Posa carb for several years. I even ran it on top of the engine
during one test. First of all, please see

I did not modify the posa and I did not have carb heat, yet it worked

Well, since it's Friday I guess it's OK to whip a dead horse a little. My
only experience with the POSA is not first-hand really; it's with my friend
Paul Martin's KR-2.

I ran the posa and it performed well at top end and was difficult to dial in

Carb heat is always a good recommendation. As for the 29,
