RE: Club Mills!

Thanks Chris, The throat is slightly bigger then the venturi but there seems to be quite a bit of restriction in the throttle area with the spray bar going thru. I think that could be designed...

RE: Club Mills!

Hi, While going over this thread, I was very impressed with the way a throttle carb Mills ran on an earlier post by fiery. Is that carb available anywhere. I have a Mills 1.3 that I built a while...

RE: Mills diesel

Here is the Mills 1.3 I finished last winter. While building I was hoping it would run but didn't expect much. It starts easier and runs smoother then my two PAW's. Tried flying it in a 67" Quaker...

RE: Penn Valley 54 inch Quaker?

Thanks Dave and Thomas, I tried to fly the 67 inch with a new Paw .15 diesel in light wind. It took off ok and began a slow straight climb. About 200' away it went crazy, started a snap role to the...

RE: Best carb. for a Mills 1.3?

Mr Cox Thanks, I have a Norvel .061rc. I tried to get the caburator out, but it is wedged in tight. I didn't want to make a mess trying to pry it out.

RE: Best carb. for a Mills 1.3?

Falcon, Thanks for explaining it so well. I learned something. I looked at the engine and there is about a ten thou. opening under the piston. I'm disappointed that it probably won't idle but I will...

RE: Best carb. for a Mills 1.3?

Falcon, What do you mean by sub piston induction? Is it when the piston clears the intake port on the way up? That is the way mine is. I built it pretty tight, shouldn't leak air much. If it won't...

I want to try a Carb. on my homebuilt Mills 1.3 diesel. Thought about getting one for a PAW .09 but neither my old Paw .29 or a new Paw .15 that I just bought idle all that great. Making an adapter...

I feel foolish for asking. John, I just found your thread from 08 about building the Penn Valley Quaker. Lazyness and advanced geezerhood are my only excuse. Larry

RE: Penn Valley 54 inch Quaker?
