First, I'd like to thank everyone that email'ed me with responses and pictures. They were very helpful and I'm grateful.
I do have a service manual and parts manual and I'll reluctantly admit that I should have thought to look there first and didn't. My question was based on the fact that the old instrument panel didn't have a mixture control and I was wondering why. >From the responses I received, I'm of the opinion that the mixture control is >required for some carburetors but not necessarily for the Stromberg >carburetor. Maybe that's why mine doesn't have one. Lastly, to answer everyone's questions to me: My Ercoupe is a 415-C, s/n 196. It hasn't been flown in over 15 years and I'm located in the Oklahoma City, OK area. I hope to have it back in the air by next Summer. Thanks again. I'm sure I'll have more questions as this project progresses. Dale --- In [email protected], William R.
