Default Velocity Stack ???

The advantages of a velocity stack are well documented, smoother running and better fuel economy because fuel is not spit out of the carb... I want one !!!!

Where can I get a velocity stack for my Zenoah G-45 ????

The hole in the G45 carb is pretty big for the size of the engine, and the hole in the velocity stack might be a little smaller..The holes in the mount of the velocity stack are large enough to let it move slightly sideways, sometimes keeping the choke plate from opening all the way...You might have to center it over the carb with the choke open when you put it on...

Thanks for the Advice RC Ign 1. So just buy the B and B from horizon and thats it, or do I need to buy screws or something else to mount it ?

B&B's stack includes the mounting plate, I believe it uses the screws that secure the carb to the engine. Yeah, its $8.95, plus $7.50 shipping.

I bought my velocity stack for an MVVS 26 from Tower hobbies.

Good for you, but what was the shipping cost from Tower. It's only a pity that our LHS don't stock these rather special items. ??
