RE: Club Mills!

G' Day Larry!

Piston fit sounds good! It would be normal to get some drag on newly made piston and bores. Some of that is due to the engine having to change the direction of lay of the surface...

RE: Club Mills!

G' Day Larry,

Cox TD 049/051 venturi thread is 1/4 x 32 UNEF. (Unified Extra Fine) so maybe with a large enough wrench the Tarno carb can be fitted to a Mills........ Most likely can be...

RE: Club Mills!

For the record Mills .75 and 1.3 venturi thread is 1/4" major dia. by 40 TPI.  Thread form almost certainly would be Whitworth which means a 55 degree thread angle vs. 60 degrees adopted by the USA...

Small point of clarifiation, the Mills 1.3 Mk II venturi is an aluminium drop forging, not an aluminium casting. It is identifiable as such by the wide and constant thickness flash line...
