Regarding implementation of dual carbs, fuel choices aside. Arlyn has done quite well with Saito carbs and gasoline.

First off - keep those comments coming. These threads are a big part of what makes this hobby fun for me.

With regard to Adrian's (C&H Ignitions) gas conversion: it's going to suffer from the same fate as the stock engine or my conversion: one cylinder is going to be leaner than the other.

With regard to the dual nitro-carb setup on the Saito 300: it does not have a fuel pump or fuel regulator like the Walbo. These shortcomings are two of the things I wanted to address with my conversions.

With regard to my diverter barrel being readily adjustable: I WISH! But alas, it's not going to happen. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not going to work out as I'd hoped and I'll be going to some kind of defuser setup like Brutus suggested. Maybe a screen setup or some such. But who knows, maybe my diverter will pan out.
