I had to rebuild the carb on the Taylorcraft because it was leaking too much. I thought it was because of the needle but I think some of it was coming from the screen plug which was stripped. After cleaning up the steel needle and seating it I got it to slow down enough to work. I had to epoxy the plug to get it to stop leaking. Finally got it running but the new tack cable only lasted 5 min. Elbow gear had some hard grease that would work well at times then not at others, (I had it tested at teh speedo shop) So I am cleaning that out an will regrease it. Back to the carb...
I have another Stromberg carb off a C-85 that will work it has the mixture control, ( That I am told is worthless on that carb) I can just use the parts from the A65 carb. This will get me by for the time being.
What carbs are the group running? Is it worth it to find a Marvel-Schebler? The C-85 will eventually go into a Taylorcraft so I could just use that carb on this Taylorcraft and find a MS for the C-85 if it is a better carb. Or should I find 2 MS's and toss the Strombergs? If I use the Stromberg on the A65 should I switch over to the other needle and seat? I wanted to run a mixture of av and mogas.
