Guys I have a G62 that I need some info on. The manifold between carb and engine(Plastic or phenolic) Is very long. Maybe 1.5 to 2 inches. Can I shorten this without hurting the running of the engine? I am aware of the pulse hole and might have to modify this.

Thanks

Yes, check Toni Clark website for suggestions. Others also provide a shorter insulator. Good luck.

If it is the original one that does not turn the carb for easy linkage hook up, You can cut it down to ½” and it still work.

B and B sells one that is shorter but all it is one cut in half.

Here is one Horizon sells that is shorter and makes it easer to hook up the crab linkage

How do you train the "crab" to control the throttle? Does Old Bay seasoning in the fuel mix help motivate it?

I think that mix must work....what about on the days when the crab is in a bad mood???

Boil it and eat it.

Then get a new crab.

Don't you just hate it when that happens? Crabs are getting so expensive, too.

All in what type crabs you are talking about.

Chesapeake blue crabs, of course. A native species in Maryland and Virginia are favorite. King Crabs, et al from Alaskan waters are great, too!

If you cannot find the right crab....try a lobster from ...The Red lobster ! Good I hear Capt,n

The best carb...I mean crab rotator block going is the one Ralph makes. Made of G10, much thinner and will last a life time. Not like those cheap black plastic ones.

I make mine using three layers of 1/8 inch G10. the center layer has the pulse hole track from the carb hole to the engine hole. the outside layers have the bolt pattern respectively as required for the engine and carb. Epoxy the three layers together.

Quick G-62 question: I have an airplane that has a big enough cowl to use the big muffler that came with the engine. I have been using a slimline pitts muffler from the onset. What might I see with the original muffler? More power, quieter, etc.

Thanks in advance.

flygilmore

If you are talking about the twin exit, slanted muffler, I would say around the same rpm perhaps slightly less. The stock muffler is not that loud (ran it for less than a gal. on mine til it blew a hole through it near one of the exhaust bolts) and replaced it with a B&B side dump. Much louder but a lot more rpm too! The stock muffler's two tubes travel way up inside near the top of the muffler making it restrictive.

Lifer in my tests I found the Zenoah muffler very quiet. Problem is it will cost you 500 to 600 rpm and it is heavy. Better off with something like a J Tec wrap around or side dump or one of Milton's side mufflers. Very light and no loss of rpm. He has them for sale in the ads section or on his website for a very good price. I believe they are about 40 bucks shipped.

Is that one of the threads in the scratch build section of RCU?

I don’t

I go to the theater and get me a big bag of pop corn., Every time I take a bite I put one in my pants, When the crabs go for a drink of water I change seats
