Re: Dual battery setup for Leberg ignition
For the Leburg a 7ah & 4 ah are fine if they are being charged in flight.
If you are not going to charge the batteries in flight be aware that you will damage the Leburg controller if the voltage drops too low.

Re: Acro VW 1834 Fuel Flow- FRED
Most of these engines burn 15-20LpH. Assume double that & you have plenty of reserves.
The LAA provide a fuel flow check sheet via the technical link.

Re: VW spark plugs
The original light weight heads have a thinner casting so by the time you have machined deep enough to get to a flat seat for the plug gasket you are looking at a short or medium reach plug. You don’t want bare threads exposed in the head otherwise carbon will build up on the thread and cause proble...

Re: CD150 Stromberg carb' needle part# or profile
Hi Greg, Thanks for the photos, it looks like a very nice job you are doing. A couple of thoughts: How fuel resistant are the rubber pipes you are using? If you are using unleaded (and you should for engine longevity provided you have the correct CR.) I would suggest putting a small measured piece o...

Re: CD150 Stromberg carb' needle part# or profile
Hi Greg, The VW engine is a bit quirky about inlet manifold and exhaust design. Do you have 4 open stacks, or do you have some other ex' system. The engine fires both cylinders on the same side consecutively, and both ex' and inlet manifolds can suffer due to the pressure pulses. A picture of your s...

Thank you Gents, the chap at Burlen is away till tomorrow, so will call him then. The engine runs well at all throttle openings with no hesitation on application of sudden full throttle from idle, and is reaching about 3000 rpm at full throttle, so the current needle is ok on the ground, but I have ...

CD150 Stromberg carb' needle part# or profile
Hi Guys, I have recently fitted a "new old stock" CD150 carb' to replace the worn out previous unit which is fitted to a Tipsy Nipper.

Hi Barry/Nigel, Thanks for your input, I will stick to the recommended tightening sequence, as you say Barry, it is to ensure the push-rod tubes are compressed before the heads seat on the barrels. Once the engine has run an hour or so I will retorque to 18ft/lbs. All the best and happy landings. Neil

Hi Nigel, Thanks for the reply, no need to apologise, I talk complete gibberish at times, and I am highly qualified to do so!! Steve wrote the GPAS manual (the same one you have I venture) and it was via an email that he advised 22ft/lbs on my enquiry, why he should not have advised this amended tor...
