Quite a number of years ago, I gained some experience on karts & the 2 stroke motors that power them. rick1776, you will remember the "Maverick Switch" post we discussed on F1-Live (one of the deceased ones now).
Well, I was looking for info on McCullogh motors (as they are the ones that I sort of remember bestl) just recently. I remember that it used a carburettor that could be fitted in any which way you chose. Down-draught, side-draught, skew-draught, upsidedown-draught or just any draught you choose. It was almost cubical in shape roughly 3 inches in all directions, with a reed valve/whatever.
When I enquired about this carb from a friend, he said the closest that he could come to an answer was a Tillotsen variant. Now, I have checked on Tillotsens but have yet to come across something that looks remotely the same as what I remember. I know that I was interested in these as was contemplating fixing 4 of these to the RX-2 rotary at a stage when I could hardly afford the fuel that Mazda guzzled.
Although I have a reasonably idea of how normal carbs work with their floats, jets and venturi's, I have just no clue how these float-less, and possibly venturi-less, carbs work.
Is there anyone out there who can possibly offer some explanation. Henrik, rick1776, Raptor22, ...... May need to make contact with *Stevos* also. He's not here by any chance, is he?
cya all
BTW, have you noticed that I don't drink when I drive?
