Hello. I am somewhat new to the group. I am building a Texas Parasol and was planning on powering it with a 1600VW. What is the prefered carburetor? ...
For a straight 1600, I've found the standard solex/bocar VW pict-34 carb is great. Good running, easy to work on, and only 120 bucks! jim ...

If you want a carburetor mounted under the engine then I've found that the Zenith from Hummel Engines is best. I paid around $175 for mine. CW...

Anybody got one? I'm particularly interested in the case itself, so I can diddle around designing an engine mount. I'm NOT using the Diehl case, nor the...
What sort of mounting are you planning? Which end to the prop? I presume that you may be doing some sort of "bed" mount. Hal ... From: flybynightkarmarepair...

Well, I'm trying to figure out if I can follow Bob Hoovers advice on the issue, without his participattion. http://www.escribe.com/aviation/vw/m11962.html ...
I designed and fabricated my own bed mount before Steve ever built one. After I got my RDS (rear drive) he could offer me no advice for mounting the engine or...

Hello all, I'm building a Sonex, and purchased a complete GPAS 2180 FWF from an already flying Sonex. This builder chose to do a pressure cowling setup, using...
Chris, The box plenum baffling is much easier to build and may be lighter also. The current box plenum plans from Sonex are a little different than the first...
Chris, "If it ain't broke....don't fix it!". The pressure cowl system you purchased from Al Hartman is proven, it's built/fitted, and it's paid for! Building...
Pressure cowl is probably the preferred method to get max cooling. They generally fit the engine better than the fuselage cowling/rubber baffling . This...
Thanks for the thoughts, Ron and Jack. I guess since I've already got fitted baffles for a pressure cowl, I'll use them. I may spiff them up a bit though....
That first one was an excellent example of a pressure baffle/box. All the air HAS to go thru the cylinders on this. Of course, with small higher speed ...
My latest step in preparing my VW engine has been to lap the prop hub to the shaft. It is a HAPI conversion and the engine came with the HAPI hub tapered to...
The red one is the Sonex AeroVee version, the other is a Sonerai intake from Great Plains. Either will work fine, but you will only get the AeroVee with an...
From what I can tell, the "boxy thing" would act like a plenum and reduce any interference of one cylinder to another. Tuned systems use interference to boost...
From an prop theory standpoint, the size of the prop the engine can twist has no bearing on which end of the crankshaft you fix it to. From a mechanical...
