Re: Continental A65 Mixture

John,They say that seeing is believing but believing ain't always enough.I tried hooking the mixture up on a few of those old Stromburgs and the out usually wasn't very good.Leave it full rich or trade up to a MS carb.

.....they don't work for crap on the strombergs....

It doesn't have to be that way, but first you gotta believe!

Re: Continental A65 Mixture

I have an original A-65 operators manual (1944 I think) that specifically calls for the mixture to be safety wired full rich.

I've never seen a cub with a functioning mixture control on an A65 through C90.....they don't work for crap on the strombergs....that's why they are wire rich.

Hello All,
Can anyone tell me why my Tcraft has the mixture safety-wired full rich at the carb instead of a mixture control? Cubs and Champs have a mixture control, why not the T-Craft?
