Pietenpol-List: carb question
Original Posted By: Kip and Beth Gardner
Before I take carb off of engine,..I have an A65-8 w/Stromberg carb. I ran theengine yesterday (runs good), but the throttle cable works backward. Is therea way to rig the valve in said carb to work in the opposite direction?... my otheroption would be to tear fabric off side of aircraft in order to put a differentthrottle cable in...hate to do that. thx in advance..Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I don't know if it would be considered good practice or not, but is it possible to add linkage at the engine end of the throttle cable that would reverse the direction of travel at the carb?Kip GardnerOn Mar 18, 2011, at 9:39 AM, TriScout wrote:> >> Before I take carb off of engine,..I have an A65-8 w/Stromberg carb. > I ran the engine yesterday (runs good), but the throttle cable works > backward.

Can you rotate the carb 180 degrees? The lever would change sides and reverse operation.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rollingusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I really don't know whether this would even be possible, but how about just turning the carb around 180 degrees -- that would make the throttle lever move to low power when you pull the lever back and to high power with the lever pushed forward. Would that work?----- Original Message -----

I think I have a fix. The previous owner said to loosen screw on throttle arm (atcarb), pop it off and position it on top, then twist or bend as needed. I didjust that and it seems to work just fine...same travel each direction. Whowould've thought it was that simple. Thanks for your inputs.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:14:05 -0700 (PDT)
