RE: The Pee Wee Chronicles
Maybe the guy didn't want to pay what a stock Tee Dee .020 backplate tank costs these days![X(]
Or, maybe he was trying make a dual carb .020 similar to this .049:

RE: The Pee Wee Chronicles
Derek,
When I was looking at my peewee last, and my two only glow heads i thought about converting them to (when they blow) to a "turbo" plug as used by most high end car engines. These are very similar to a nelson plug but much smaller- when I looked at mine last I thought a stock peewee head could be converted without any modification- I have made a seat cutter and have the tap- If you have a blown head and want me to convert it I`d be happy to do it for you.

Stefan,
A guy just can't pass up on an offer like that! Thank you sir, you are very generous! I will go dig around and see if I can find a blown plug. Thanks again, I'll be in touch.

Don`t mention it.
Something worth a mention is that if I convert it directly without modifiying the combustion chamber shape, I think it will turn out higher compression than stock. If you want to send me two blown heads I`ll modifiy one so it is close to std compression, and the other can be high compression.

I've had one of the twin carb Coxes for years, and posted a picture of it here some time ago. As I said at the time, it didn't add any power, and it was a lot harder to adjust.

RE: The Pee Wee Chronicles
Thanks DB for starting this thread. It should be a sticky, or at least a classic.
I was flying my Shoestring (Scientific) last weekend but the Pee Wee seemed saggy. It ran but would not hold an RPM setting. I was using Omega 40%. A friend offered me some Sig 1/2A fuel which is 35%, which I tried.
Some of you guys will say "I told you so" but:
I added 1 oz. of castor oil to the 16 oz container. Now I have about 22% oil & a lot of it is now castor.
Result - Engine runs great. Obviously the total oil content is important as is the castor oil as well.
Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same problem.
