i need a servo that will be strong enough to pull the throttle on a 50cc pocket bike engine http://www.minibikepartsnow.com/MPBN...cc/eg49cc1.jpg. would two 1/10 scale servos work if i gave it enough leverage, or what if i used a spring to assist the servo? Is there just a reg servo that is strong enough? Ive seen the wiper motor servos but i dont understand how they are wired with a reg servo as the sensor. If you know how to wire one and could explain it to me or post a pic that would be absolutely amazing!

Please reply!

Wow! Wiper motor? It is enough with a servo on about 6 kg as the arm is very easy to turn on the carb. Not much force needed to move it. The wiper motors that you have read about are for steering servos on really large cars.

it looks like that engine has a mikuni type carb on it they're a little harder to move, for $30 you could get an appropriately sized servo HERE and not have to make anything custom...

Replace the carb with a good walbro! It will be easier to tune, and you can use a standard servo.
The walbro can suck the fuel from the tank, with that one the tank needs to be higher than the carb.

rangerfredbob; i overlooked that part, i know from my time driving my moped that moving the "piston" up and down inside the carb is kind of heavy compared to twist the axle in a Walbro.

ye it might just my motor has a hard throttle but it take quite a bit of force to pull it, one on my servos from my 1/10 rc cant do it.

thanks you for the advice i hope it will help

use a 25 kilo servo like i will be using

or replace the cable/spring with a solid wire and no spring

Lars from Norway

That is a very good idea, mad maori! To move the piston itself without the spring attatched is done with little or none effort, so just using a solid rod to move it can be done by almost any servo.

Could anyone show me a pic or something of a servo and a wiper motor working together. I'm not too good with reading the diagrams so I need to see the actual thing, or explain how to wire it. Thanks

Just get a Hobbyking HV767

30kg/cm torque is way more than you could ever need

so with this walbro carb, how is the gas tank going to work, would i have to just have a hose go to the bottom and a vent on it, or would i need to creat pressure, possibly with the exhaust? how exactly would the whole fueling system work?

Lars from Norway

The Walbro-carb feeds itself with fuel, this is done via pulses from the crankcase. You will need a hose with a filter on to feed the carb (a clunk in the tank with filter on), and a hose to return the fuel to the tank. And also some sort of ventilation in the tank. No need to create pressure to make it feed from the tank.

oh ok i get, thanks i will be getting one shortly

vugt47

ive been trying to find a clunk for in the tank but i cant find any, also what size hose does the walbro carb need, it doesnt say what the ID of the hose needs to be. this is the one i am looking to buy[img][/img][img][/img][img][/img]

i was trying to find one with more of a filter on it

One of these should do the trick:

Daves will also have standard fuel line for the carbs if you don't find any...

kenazzo2000

ive bought one like yours and started the engine if you wont i can give you the site were i bought it from

vugt47

that looks great on there, i already found a suitable website for me though, but thanks a lot.

vugt47

could you tell me what the inside diameter of the hos is that is required for the walbro carb?
