Hart" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Econo Miser!! FireFlyer's & Kolbers, I have updated the page describing the air/fuel ratio adjuster. The weather has been very nice and so I was able to gather much more data. I had to removed the static pressure tap from the bottom of the carburetor. With the carburetor just about a foot in front of the propeller, a lot of weird stuff happens. I could not get enough pressure difference to provide sufficient control range and the system was unstable. I tried changing main jets, etc., but it did not help. I moved the static pressure reference point to under the wing and everything improved. At this time, I will be cleaning up the system. To save weight, it will be re plumbed with thin wall hard tubing and one float bowl vent will be plugged. If you would like to see the latest data, it can be found on the bottom of: http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly146.html This has been very encouraging. My initial goal was be able to fly at less than two gph, and at this point, it looks like 1.5 gph or less is a strong possibility. Fly Safe! Jack B.
