Most pilots that hate Stromberg carbs don't understand the internal workings of
a Stromberg or how the mixture control is designed to work. Very simple carb
and very reliable. But they will bite you if you don't take the time to learn
how they operate, especially if you try to use the mixture
With the horns just foam will they be strong enough to support the weight? or
should I just add the weight off the push rod like Mark did. How much weight

Question to the general group- Ken Rand used a common SU HS4 carb on his

Thought I would change the subject to be the subject.
I have no use for any of the "leaky" carbeuretors. The best carbeuretor that I
have ever found for the VW was the Ellison EFS-2, but they quit making them a
long time ago. The best that I have used on a Corvair is the EFS-3A and they

I used 2.6 pounds on a 16 inch arm hinged on a bell crank 14 inches forward
of the elevator hinge. Connection between the elevator bell crank and the
balance counter weight bell crank is by a push rod and rod ends. All
linkage and counter weight are in the fuselage. This push rod is also part
4.5 lbs is a lot of weight to add to foam horns. Even with CF on the ends.
Joe, what did you do to beef up the horn areas?

Big drawback, I think. Kind of like having to use a speedometer cable for
mixture control on a Zenith Carb. I know it is being done, but I would not

I have had good success using the speedometer cable style adjustment on my
Zenith carb.
With 238 hours to date, I have not had any issues with this method.
Looks a little unconventional but works fine.
Details on request if interested.
