William Wynne suggests a stromberg off an continental c-85. He also mentionsa Kehin off a harley if you are on abudget. The main thing is make sure that you will get 150-200 cfm flow. Iplan to use a S&S super B. It has asmall Y manifold and is a very good carb. It also has a richener instead ofa choke and no accelerator pump.These are features you want in a aircraft carb. A good source would beharley swap meets.Carl----- Original Message -----

Well as bad as I have been wanting to do my first flight on my plane since I havegotten it signed off in December the weather has been against me and the fewdays I have had decent weather to attempt it the engine has failed to run upright-rather stumbling and trying to die as i open the throttle.i had it runningsmooth in the summer but now it will not. I am about 99% sure it is the carbthough I have removed it and cleaned it 3 times. today I was sure it finallywould go but no luck. it is the Stromberg I got from D.J. along with the restof th project. The engine runs smooth but usually as I try to open the throttleit just stumbles and dies.I did notice that when it's idling it is drippinggas around the adjusting needle which leads me to think there might be sometype of seal that I'm missing there.it had sat several years but paperwork showedit had been through a carb shop down around south Texas. I have had no luckgetting an answer for that shop so am assuming t! hey have folded. I guess the next step will be to send it to some other shop andhope they can resurrect it again. it has the 1 3/8" venturi in it and I'm assumingthe right jets but I think the time has come to admit defeat and sendit off. Who preferably in the Texas Oklahoma area might be a good place to sendit to? RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: carbs

Raymond,This is on a Corvair, right? If it's going on a Corvair, you should just ship itto Russ Romey at D&G Supply in Niles, MI. He's the go to shop for overhaulingand setting up carbs for Corvairs. Tell him what the prob is, and that you wantit set up for a 'Vair, and you should be good. Reasonable cost too, imho.Ryan Mueller-----Original Message-----

Kestler?... you must mean "Kessler".... I thought it might be neat to get a fadedyellow piet and paint "Waldo Pfeiffer" on it. It would look cool with a squaredoff Jenny-style cowl, spoke wheels and antique instrument panel.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Ernest Kestler paint job??

I'll ask Steve next time I see him. I believe they're from Alden, Iowa. His dadbuilt a corvair Pietenpol. From what I understand, his dad got the private ticketin order to be able to fly his Piet, but never got it off the ground... keptground looping, then repairing it while trying to high speed taxi it I believe.His son showed me photos of it. It looked as though he put a castering wheelon the back (like furniture wheel. I told Steve to tell his dad to put areal tailwheel on it and maybe it won't groundloop so easily... that was abouta year ago.. don't know what the current status is on it. He did say it's alwaysfor sale if I wanted it, but I figured that I could find a nice continentalone that's flying for about 2/3 what he was asking for it.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: carbs

Well after much encouragement from Oscar and a strong recommendation from WilliamWynn. the carb got shipped off to the D&G shop today. I have new hardwarecoming to re-mount it with the shaft to the right side of the aircraft insteadof forward. though Russ at D&G didn't think that was really a likely source ofmy problem.( it certainly could have caused an un-even flow situation side toside at partial throttle)and I'm sitting on hold waiting for parts to come into re-mount it and hopefully be at the end of my hesitation problems.thanksto those who tried to help with advice.
