ORIGINAL: Campgems

Richard, I'm a late comer to converting engines. The conversion of Glow engines seems to be one not often tried but some reports are very positive. For me, I would like to know about the spray bar because one conversion is using the stock carb but fine tuning it for gas. The WZ Walbro carbs are a lot like the stock glow fuel carbs only with a pump and regulator (plus items in the equation) but with a really nasty throttle arm setup with doesn't lend it's self to a servo operating it (Real Negative in the equation). That carb is the one that has the spray bar slit at 90 to the venturi.

Also, I always like to know if ''conventional wisdom'' is correct or not.

I too like to experiment and have three Ryobi 4 strokes with the rotating barrel carbs. I have a SAITO 180 that I am considering to convert to gas, and several gassers to convert to gas/glow. My questions are not to question you but to inform me why, so I can apply that "conventional wisdom" to my own actions. To me "conventional wisdom" is what has proven to work, or not. Thanks for your experimentation and comments.

S incerely, Richard
