Netters I have been asking questions about the Ellison 2 carb, and getting some good information. First: Mark L. gave me a number for a diaphragm for the carb. I ordered it and it was the wrong size and it was not marks fault. More on that later. Second: the Internet is good but not great. I have tried to looked at several sites and some have little information and some will direct you in the wrong direction. That is the benefit of this web site.
Last: This is where the duh comes in. I have been asking for help from this site and I had the answer at my fingertips. The carb I'm working on is a very old carb. From HAPI, receipt signed by Rex Taylor. If you go to the Ellison web site and read the article "no, it's not a POSA". As Ben was designing the Ellison he had help from the mastermind friend of mine Tom McNeeley. Duh I knew Tom helped Ben, so I called him (fingertips). Duh. He again told me the story of how the carb/ throttle body was developed. They used a Tillotson diaphragm. Mark that is why it looks similar, tillotson made it. My model was so early it was different, Tom told me to call a local lawn mower shop, and lo and behold I have a smooth running 2180 on a Dragonfly. Again Thank you Net and Mark Lee Van Dyke
