Hey Steve. If you're coming to Biloxi, Think about stopping in, if your coming back to pick the wife up, perhaps we can pool it and split the gas costs. If nothing else, you can be the first netter to come see N1333A Glenn Martin Biloxi, MS rep...@martekmississippi.com - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 12:44 PM Subject: Re: KR> SERFI fly in.

KR> RE: Revflow carb for 1835 VW
I have a 29mm Posa Super Carb. On my 1641cc VW and have a similar situation. When I adjust the linkage so the slide opens all the way the engine quits. I have the throttle stop set so when the maximum rpm is reached the slide is about 90% open. Once I tried to adjust it out so I could get wide open throttle by changing the needle to a more rich setting. On take off when I was climbing out and had ram air the engine lost power and only regained power when I came back on the throttle. I flew the pattern and landed, then put the old needle back in and reset the throttle stop back to 90%. It works well now the way it is. -Joe Scappoose Ore. > I have an 1835 VW with a 34mm Revflow carb and a 52x47 prop. > I ran it the other day and reached peak RPM at about 2/3ds > throttle.

Joe, What you did is exactly what the manufacturer of my AeroCarb said to do concerning setting a wide open stop a little bit short of wide open.

If I go with the new 5 th bearing do I still need >>it?

Nice jouranl radii are a plus, but if it's not turned yet, that's moot because they could get ruined during the grinding if the grinder isn't careful. That's a lot of weight to be carrying around an airshow! The crank grinder is probably the guy to ask if it'll work, but make sure the guy you take it to is quite aware that you want the journal radii to be as large as possible. If your cowling's not built yet, I don't see a problem with the prop hub length because it'll just put your prop a little further out in front of the plane (a good thing from a streamlining standpoint). I'd think the safety shaft length could change, but that would depend on whose fifth bearing setup you're talking about. I can't answer that one for Roy's or Dan's. Mark Jones or Joe Horton could tell you about Dan's, or it might be located on Dan's website at http://www.fly5thbearing.com/5thbearing.html .

KR> RE: Revflow carb for 1835 VW
My KR-2 with Revmaster 2100D uses the Revflow carb with tappered mixture needle has to manufactured/matched to the engine displacement. When I changed to the new heavy duty big valve heads I had to have Joe at Revmaster send me a new needle. He may be able to help you with the POSA.

KR> KR owners in Atlanta
Hi All.. A bit of a late post but I will be in Atlanta for a conference this week, arriving tomorrow and leaving Sunday. I have plans for KR2S and have seen one KR2 but have never been in one for a ride. Just a longshot but if there is way I could arrange to get up on the air in Atlanta it would sure be appreciated. I am home for the evening and otherwise will try to check my email while in Atlanta. Staying at the Hyatt (downtown I beleive) Thanks Bob Russell Winnipeg Mb. Canada
KR> Crankshafts
Thanks for all the answers on ringing my cranks. Here is what I did. 1. Screwed the bolt holding the harmonic balancer back into the threads by fingers, harmonic balancer removed. 2. Suspended the crank by cord on the bolt and tapped with a hammer. Thud 3. At the suggestion of someone I suspended it with wire, ring. 4. Suspended the crank by stiff wire through a bolt hole on the transmission end, tap lightly with a hammer, RING!!!, for a good 30 seconds. How sweet the sound. Thanks guys, again I am amazed at the knowledge that flows here. IHS PShows Seminary, MS
