I have four K&B 20 Sportster engines and they all have Perry Carbs on them. I was going to run them on Royal B-17 but the plane got crushed when i was moving.





Dang Earl that's a shame. Anybody know why K&B is so adamate about not using muffler pressure on their sportster motors?
I know a lot of the old ones didnt have a muffler tap from the factory and the more modern ones come with a pressure tap on the exhaust adapter. I dont know why you would NOT want to use a pressure tap even with good fuel draw. Both of my .65's have pressure taps. I only run one of them right now and I use the pressure line. I'm hoping I'll be able to get one to run with the tank under the engine.
