Joey.

In order to have your engine generate the 85 hp, the engine needs to be able to run faster.

Not only changing the carburetor does it, but also the prop needs to fit the engine.

If you keep your old prop, you would most likely see not much of a faster speed on the tach, but certainly a higher fuel consumption.

Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] carburetor question

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----

I have a question I was wondering about, I have a 415C with a 75HP engine

with a McCauley 73-51 prop.

Would there be any advantage to to installing a stromberg carb set up for the 85HP engine.

My 75HP carb works just fine, but I also have a good stromberg with the right jets and venturi for a 85HP.

I know that the prop should be changed or modified but I was just courious

would I have any gain using the 85HP carb?

 

thanks

Joey
