I have seen some of those on youtube, most look like they got rid of the governor and all the shrouding too, I never thought of using a 4Ao84 in a ultralight aircraft but I guess it works.
Yeah he told me last week he is out. Propane conversion is an option, there is a guy on evilbay selling a complete kit but its kinda high in my opinion, I think you could piece it together cheaper.
I am thinking about doing it on my mep-016a, I wonder how much run time you would get from a bbq...
No I have not, Saturn is out of carbs I know of no other source. He does still have the carb bowl gasket which I use and then make all the rest from scratch. Generally they just require a good cleaning, and I always coat the float with gas tank sealer, that has worked well for me.
Care to share...
mep-21c
Well I finally got her going after a carb and fuel system cleanup and a few other tweaks, it makes power and runs good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kd88VoCJJk
Well guess I should have looked at it closer, it is a 21a, after cleaning the fuel system it runs great and makes 400Hz.
I have a gen head complete from a 16d I may convert this one myself in the future.
This is the first mep 16 I have seen that does not have convenience receptacles.
I wonder if this is a real early one or a set that was originally a 400Hz set that was later converted.
Got this from gsa, showing 334 hours, looks to be in great shape.
It still had clean oil in it and some funky gas, fired it off with some ether and it ran and made power!
This one should be easy to get going.
