No can do the Weber must be mounted
level.
Also look at the photo I sent of the
air ram and notice the block between the carb and the manifold, it has
water passages in it for carb heat which is the only heat I have and
it seems work great but in all honesty flown in very bad fogy misty
conditions next to the water with the heat turned off and never had
ice so the Mazda don't seem to be prone to ice at least in my
installation but another installation may differ.

Hi, Ken....do you know if the Weber 48 must be mounted
level, or might I be able to install it on my previously constructed
intake system that crosses over to the cool side of the engine, then
bends downward at a 45 degree angle.(See attached picture). The
thought of using a carburetor, and forgetting about high pressure fuel
pumps and hoses, sump tanks with fuel returns, fooling around setting
up MAPs in the computer, throttle position sensors, injectors, coolant
temp sensor wiring, inlet air temp sensor and wiring, etc, is
making the simple old carb more and more attractive. Most of my
EFI systems have been installed and wired up, but I admit I like the
keep it simple system. I am already used to using a mixture lever
while flying....no big deal, and carb heat is easy to provide. Thanks
for any thoughts and/or suggestions. Paul Conner 13b powered
SQ2000 canard. P.S. I can't take credit for sending the
info regarding Tom McNeily and his mixture controls. That was sent in
by Jim Mosur. Thanks, Jim.
Thanks Paul
I will look into that as will need to do something
different as I plan on pressurizing the carb with a
turbo.
