Whoops, that was supposed to be "butt-puckering' and not "butt-pucking". Almost gave the wrong mental picture!

Thanks Excess650 for the offer. I went on-line and they look like pretty neat and simple. If I try that day tank method those would do the trick, but I'm still in the mulling it over stage. I'll get back to you when I make up my mind. Thanks again. Hey, Stevethekiwi, where's your sense of...

Timberwolf, g loads are minimal and of short duration considering the amount of thrust these engines can develop (75 pounds total for both). The battery failure is my concern but a hand pump for a backup would ease the tension. Scooterbum, thanks for the web address. These look interesting...

Thanks Scooterbum. No video available. No stills of me flying even. Hey, beer is fuel! Thanks Randy, Ultralights kinda fell by the wayside due to the liability insurance they had to buy. They were generaly small mom and pop sized businesses and couldn't afford it. This one went under in the...

Thanks everyone for offering your help. I picked up some good ideas and info. Russell 1979 Pioneer P61's. Purchased new in 1980 in this cofiguration, didn't butcher antique.

Whoops, sorry.

Any motorcycle made in Japan used to be called rice burners by Harley riders. I'm not in Virginia. What made you think so, my accent?

Knucklepanshovel huh. Sounds like a Harley man to me. An old one at that, knuckle heads go way back. Any way that would be a good option to a primer bulb. A tee fitting could be put in the fuel line close to the carb and a check valve on the third outlet for the vacuum pump. I've got a auto...

That was my thinking but I don't have as much knowledge of these carbs as you guys. If I knew how to post a photo I'd show you what I'm talking about. russell

The fuel tank is just a red plastic 2 gal. jerry can with a hole for venting. the engine will pull the fuel up to the carb by pulling the recoil, but it takes a lot of pulls. The boat fuel pump bulb works except it causes the fuel to develop vapor bubbles in the 1/4" clear fuel line. I like the...

I have a 5 hp chainsaw that has a walbro carb. The fuel tank is 7 ft. away and 3 ft. lower than the engine. How much suction pressure does this carb generate? The fuel has such a long way to go plus gravity, would it starve the engine? Can a fuel pump be used on a carb like this? Any help...

I know this subject has been discussed to death, but I could'nt find what I need to know in the archives so I would like to ask: I have two 1979 Pioneer P60 engines that are practically identical and because they have been ran simutaneously they have the same run time on them. When adjusting the...

Walbro Carb Rebuild Thanks for taking the time to clear that up for me Sugarbush. Russell

I am trying to install a rebuild kit in a Walbro SDC carb (1979 vintage). I'm a little confused about the adjustment of the lever that lifts the needle off the seat that allows fuel into the carb. The info I have says to have the lever flush with the two bosses on either side of the lever. The...

What is it Yeah, it's a complete set including seals. No, there is nothing else on the engine that I can see that is like this piece. It's about the same dia. as the crankshaft. I kinda was leaning toward tool myself but it will fit through the seals. It's 5/8" at it's largest dia. and 3/8" at...

What is it Yeah, you're the only response and I appreciate it. The photo thing is strange. I only posted one photo and when I open it from within my post it appears the proper size. This is my first attempt to post a photo on this site, so I probably didn't do it correctly. Thanks, Russell

What is it "Do you have a screw that will fit through it?" Do you mean, did a bolt come with the gasket set? The other side is flat. What do you mean by "smaller photo is fine"? Thanks, Russell

This small (diameter of a dime) metal piece is in a gasket set for my Pioneer P60. What is it? Thanks, Russell

No recognition I sit here all red faced for what I so thoughtlessly have done; or not done to be exact! I took advantage of the enormously vast knowledge that the Fish had so generously offered without the slightist attempt to pay due homage. Hail to da Fish! Fish be da man! Russell

Air Gap Thanks retoocs555 and gatkeper1 for the info! Russell
