Fernando, this is a decision only you can make HOWEVER, if it was me I would not change out the rods (unless they can be had for a reasonable price?). I'm not very knowledgeable about past failures of these rods but I suspect that if properly lubricated and not pressed too hard they would...
Fernando, your parts look great to me. I found out the hard way that those venturis look simple but they are hard to get right.
As for the Walbro 962 keep this in mind: it is what I’m running on my Gemini 160 which is 27.5cc’s and it runs GREAT. So don’t worry. Your 240 will run just fine - if...
Wow, that engine looks great! I can't wait to see your progress. I'm super busy building a 50% scale Bucker biplane or I'd start right in on mine. I'm REALLY looking forward to that.
Happy to have you join in, Fernando. Here's what I've learned about bending thin wall stainless tubing:
1. Anneal tubing by heating to BRIGHT ORANGE. This is not the same as plain steel which would be a dull red.
2. Fill tubing with CERROBEND. It's a low melt temp metal. It comes in several...
I put the carb on back mainly as a way of saving space below the engine. In the Rascal (see pics above) I use that large space for the ignition.
I also have the bigger version of the Gemini (in my case the 300) that I plan to convert to gas. To be honest, with this bigger engine (it’s 50cc)...
Here she is, where she belongs: in a sweet old-time model airplane. This is the second Sig Rascal 110 she has been. I lost the first one due to radio failure and it nearly broke my heart. I loved the engine/airplane combo so much I just had to recreate it - only this time it's way better with...
Here’s an amazing resource I found on RC Universe:
RE: DLE 30 carb for 4 st ? an replacement for walbro wt-456-1
Walbro model numbers make no sense. I have no idea what the difference might be. Here is a list of walbro carbs that have an accelerator pump. The pump is a very good thing:
Walbro...
