Is anyone aware of good replacement carb for the Fred Flintstone
model that PAW uses on their engines,especially the .19? They are
such easy starting and good handling engines that it seems a pity to
saddle them with such POS.

hello I use mostly os carbs (they seem the most easy to get) the best way is to machine down the neck.I've made manifolds for them too. match up the venturi sizes and go to town. ps my 29 runs exellent with a os 15?carb ONCE YOU GO DIESEL YOU NEVER GO BACK[sm=lol.gif]

A litttle bigger but my PAW 40 does great on a MVVS carb martin

Did you have to modify it Dan? Which MVVS engine was the MVVS carb intended for?

Lastly, did it improve idling and transition over the stock PAW carb supplied with the engine?

Hi there,

I always quite liked the simplicity of the good old PAW carbs. There isn't much to go wrong and I've never had any trouble with them. I haven't bought a new PAW in a while, but aren't they coming with more advanced carbs these days (rather than the basic, square airbleed version)? I may be wrong.

Regards
Warren

Fiery It was for a 40MVVS It was a little loose I simply used a little Kopperkote and redrilled for I think 6-32 caps screws geat idle and transition martin

Dan, why did you substitute for the PAW carb on the .40? Seems like a very sophisticated carb on that engine. I did get some trouble from mine, but it turned out the spraybar was just misaligned (which is a recurring problem on the "Fred Flintstone" types). Jim

It looks like a super tiger carb is being used in a PAW 19 here:

Ralph, I had a .19 with the non varijet carb and it worked great, I still have a .40 and .60, the .40s Varijet carb works very well but the one on the .60 was terrible, The .60 now wears an Irvine JetStream off of an old Irvine .40. I think Fiery has the Irvine .40 now with an MVVS 7mm carb. I had to cut the neck down on the Irvine 40 carb to fit the PAW .60.

The following thread has a close-up photo of the super tigre carb:

I have a P.A.W. 40 with the Varijet carb. I used it to break in the engine, and it seemed to do just fine.

(I subsequently took it off in order put on a control line venturi and needle valve assembly.)

I also have a P.A.W. 19 single ball bearing engine with the old square "primitive" carb mounted on a Texaco model which I fly just for fun with a throttle. The carb seems to work pretty well.

Good luck with your engines, Dzl
