The later carbs should however fit without problems and can be recognized in that the low speed needle is recessed in the throttle lever. It will run as is, but most likely have its issues finding a decent setting. With the latest carb it should basically run troublefree.
Suggested fuel 5~10% Nitro, 18% synthetic. Plug, OS FS or Enya #3 Prop in the general area of 11~12 x 6
Looks like the propdriver is missing though.
Thanks Brutus for the feedback. I'll try and get another carb if I find I'm 'faffing' about with the settings.
The pics don't do it justice. It's quite a tidy engine and all the parts
not mounted are in the bags either side of the bench. It's a complete engine.
