Hi,

Hey, what's the big deal about the WA-197 carb? Other people in the forum have talked a lot about this carb. I am going to try different carbs on my new 23.6cc "hot rod" Kioritz. I have various carbs to try between 9 & 11mm plus. None of them however, are the "infamous" WA-197. I would think that with an adjustable idle mixture, and an adjustable main jet mixture, (and that they are designed for gasoline), that the only real variable would be the venturi size. Oh yes, one carb might have a little better transition than another, etc. depending on how they were designed and for exactly what application, but with idle and high end being adjustable, I would think there would be little actual difference, especially in top end power. Comments???

Would love to fly with you sometime. My time is rather divided between southern Arizona and northern Arizona. Right now I am down south. Good old "Williams Airport". Nice little airport, but not much activity. How is it doing these days? I am presently rebuilding/transitioning my "fleet" to gas engines. On the gasser side of things, I have a custom "Stick" that I use for knock around and testing small gas engines, a Katana 72" ws. that I will be installing either a McCulloch 32cc or a Poulan 36cc on, and I'm close to ordering a Dymond Models Tiger Moth biplane that I will probably put my Homey 25cc on for now. (Gotta get through this Christmas thing ya know?)

Take care,
