Richard,
You should seriously consider a clear float bowl. On engines capable of pulling high vacuum WOT often will drain the float bowl if you don't run a fuel pump. The resultant lean condition isn't good for your engine!

Hi Lynn,

 

I am running my 12A single with gear box and Prop now.

The carb is a 36mm Mikuni. It does flow 5gph fuel at 5000rpm. Havent done any tuning so far. The reason for using this carb is, I had it. I did run WOT the other day, and at around 5500rpm, the mixture went totally out of wack, lean. Already installed a bigger main jet, no run yet.

I could probabely use your info about a flow bench somewhere down the road.

 

Thanks

 

Richard.
