Ken,This quote from William Wynne's site:-There are four different carburetors that dominate the field of flyingCorvairs. These are divided among two applications: gravity feed fuelsystems (most high wing airplanes and low wing airplanes with header tanks)and pressure fuel systems (mostly seen in low wing airplanes without headertanks). If you are using a gravity feed fuel system, you can use any of thefour popular carburetors. These carbs are the Ellison EFS-3A, MarvelSchebler MA3-SPA, Stromberg NAS-3, and Monnett Aero-Carb. If you have apressure fuel system, like a 601XL or a KR-2 without a header tank, thenyou should be using an EFS-3A or an MA3-SPA. The Corvair runs well on allof these carbs. Bill Clapp's KR-2S has nearly 300 hours on an Aero-Carb.Mark Langford's and Steve Makish's KRs both run on Ellison EFS-3As. DaveThe Bear's Wagabond and the Skycoupe both fly on Strombergs. Our 601 andthe Cleanex both have MA3s.Ellison Fluid Systems sells the EFS-3A. And the Monnett family is the onlyplace to get an Aero-Carb. Either of these carbs fit on a single model ofour CNC stainless intake manifold. Alternatively, the Stromberg and MA3both fit on a slightly different manifold we make. All of the carburetorsexcept the MA3 require a primer. We weld a single primer port in the uptube on the right hand side of the intake manifold. This is common practiceon certified engines. The MA3-SPA's accelerator pump makes a primerunnecessary.-My comments:All of the above are either hard to find or expensive (or both).I choose to go with a Zenith Carburetor as used on the larger VWconversions.You can buy them at: http://www.greatplainsas.com/sccarb.htmlThey call them 1821 carburetors after the VW engine conversion theyrepresent.The Zenith designation is # 267 see at:http://www.zenithfuelsystems.com/updraft_267.htmIt gives me about 2800 RPM static and about 3000 WOT flyingAlthough I fly most of the time at about 70 Mph which is less than 1/4throttle (2200 RPM)I did remove the choke, have a primer on the LH intake manifold a homemade carb heat box.Hans "Kenneth M.
