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

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,

knob multi turn needle adjustment, none of them had the mixture control
like the

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

controls, in their manuals, they call them "power adjustments". There is
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
where they went into the heads and threaded for primer nozzles and
it worked great. I didn't like the idea of a choke that could
accidently get closed, but if you are careful a choke if O.K.

Also, I know that Phil Matheson used dual Bing carbs on his VW.

I have a Zenith carb on my GPASC 2180 VW. I rigged a mixture control using
a VW speedometer cable. The mixture needle has too much friction from the
sealing gasket. The speedometer cable will wind up a full turn or more
before enough torque is applied to turn the needle. I will need both han
