Contenintal Service bulletin M47-16 (the one on converting a C-75 to C-85 and other conversions), shows on page 15 the carb specifications. While the main metering jet is changed from a 46 to a 45 the important change is the venturi which changes from 1-5/16" to 1-3/8". Bill

Don't go experimenting with other sizes, only verify that what you have is correct. Also the point on checking the airspeed indicator is good, make sure the pitot tube is at the proper distant from the wing.If this airplane acted the same way before the overhaul then it has to be a propeller, rigging or indicator problem.Kevin1--- In [email protected], "Ed Burkhead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> > > Kostas,> > > > Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, cause I'm not any kind of mechanic.
