Russ has given some good advice on how to adjust the fitting, but this is definitely
NOT the place for a "pinhole" fitting. This is the fuel inlet to the carb,
and a "pinhole" fitting would not all allow sufficient fuel flow.
The fitting to which the arrow points is not a setscrew, but a pipe plug, just
there to seal the hole, which was probably only there to allow access for machining
the part during fabrication.

Thanks guys,
Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Guess I'll leave mine alone...

Subject: Re: RV-List: Exhaust Stacks
Jerry,
I have tested both the longer stacks from Larry and the earlier versions
that were approx 4 -6 inches longer. The longer stacks will give you a
1 to 2knot speed gain, however, they will also slightly increase the
noise level within the fuselage. The stacks with a down facing elbow are
quieter and also slower than both of the above. These tests were done
in my RV8. I do not know if the above will apply to the RV6 & RV7,
however, I would think that the same results would apply also.

I had read that article in the past but I went back and re-read it. First
of all, there are at least TWO glaring errors that I spotted. But more
importantly imho, the article approaches the notion of "value" to include
the cost of labor for tire replacement. They under-value cheaper tires (at
least from our perspective) because they imply that the aircraft owner will
incur more "labor charges" as a result of having to change tires more
frequently.
So how does this apply to OBAM (owner built & maintained) aircraft owners,
who theoretically "pay" nothing but an afternoon of our time when replacing
tires? And how does it apply to us, RV builders who try to shave pounds
wherever we can (to compensate for our often large guts)? Our value system
is different imho.
I think if somebody rewrote this article in the context of homebuilts, the
conclusion & recommendations might be different.
I still contend that on a combined basis of weight, diameter, cost per
landing, and landings per rotation/replacment, the McCreary AirHawk takes
the cake for the average RV owner. Your mileage and priorities may vary!

Absolutely right! The carb is not the place for the primer pinhole fittings,
the primer fittings belong in the heads.

I'm finally down to the last 1% of the 90% that is left after you are 90%
done. Consequently I'm getting ready to rivet the forward top skin on my
RV-6A slider. But, before I do that, I'd like to know the group's concensus
on cutting a couple slots in the skin and installing a fan and ducts
underneath for a defrost system. Even though I live in Florida now, I know
that I'll be traveling all over the country and weather is not always as
pleasant in the north. So......how many have installed some sort of
defrosting system in your RV (of any model)? Also who has the simplest
method of implementing such a system (after 10 years of building I don't
want to spend another six months just for this), and can you email a rough
sketch or drawing? Thanks.

Understood on the carb fittings, both of the two fittings shown in the other
picture are specifically for primer systems. Just sorta surprised at the
large variance in the hole size.

Next time you are in Home Depot or equivalent, check out the 1" diameter
round soffit vents; aluminum, screened, and with a lip to cover the crudely
cut mounting hole...unless you have a chassis punch.
I installed seven of small ones, 1 center and 3 equally spaced on each side
on my RV8. Used Black silicone to secure them with louvers pointed towards
windscreen to force naturally rising hot air closer to the windscreen.
Following the KISS philosophy, I won't add fans, ducts, or anything else
until I fly with it for awhile.
Plan to be flying this year...finally!
