    VW carby

    Nice setup, Matt. Looks like you have the same low-profile ignition system I used on my VW.You've dredged up a pretty old post of mine. Lots of air past the prop since then!

    About a dozen years ago I replaced my second VW engine with a Jab 2.2 and its been a great success.

    The same can be said for the prototype Cygnet which has been fitted with a Jab2200. With electric start I believe it enjoys about two stones less weight which is gold in light aircraft. Viking Aircraft LLC World head quarters is in Burlington Wisconsin about 30 miles from my home field. After I get acclimated to the cygnet I plan to visit and look at the Jab 2200 install, Most run a updraft bing I believe.My VW Guru was keen on the Compufire DIS. I am please this one came with my bird! Slick MAG as a backup!

    Teenie2.Do you realise how old that engine must be. The Corby celebrated 40 years, last year.Do you have John Corby's address, if so could you let me have it. I built and have flown the Corby for 5 years and have never contacted John to tell him how happy I am with it.

    Zenith Carby on VWI am fitting a new 1600 VW to my Jodel D9, with the original Zenith carby and intake system from my old Stamo engine. It worked well on the old donk; very economical and no hassles. It's fairly low profile, so visibility shouldn't be impaired too much.

    Very neat solution I have a Revflow updraft and I expect I have some atomization problems. I may add some heat to the upriser tube to resolve. The plan has 750+ hours but is new to me. Extremely well made winning a Lindy award at Oshkosh in the late 80's enjoys a unique one off oil filter cooler arrangement. A top mounted carb would move away from the simplicity of gravity feed which is likely already a concession made on a Jodel. I attached a picture of my Oil cooler/filter plenty of room for a top mounted solution in the existing cowl. I bet the Jodel is a delight to fly!Regards
