outkast Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hello all, I recently had some problems with my tillotson carb on my solo 210, I set the pop off pressure wich seemed to cure the fuel leaking problem, however it is still running rich, I have rebiult the carb and set the high and low screw to the correct settings, I am going to have one more try at sorting it, if that dont work I am going to change carbs to a walbro, now I have read on this forum and the net that the walbro 37 is better than the 32, if thats the case, is anyone running a 37 on a solo? if so was a straight bolt on job or did you have to make any mods? also where is the best place to find such a carb? Thanks guys. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_P Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi Dave, I have just swapped my WB32 for a WB37 on my solo powered Adventure. Straightforward direct swap, although I found running a drill bit down the fixing holes in the carb made life easier. Only issue you might have is the direction of pull for the throttle cable, but that's a pretty easy fix You'll get one from the very nice man at Rowena UK (based in Wales), and if it's not with you the day after ordering I'll be most surprised. Tuning was straightforward, adjusting the low end first, and then the high. Oh, and it's a really good mod to notch the carb butterfly directly in line with the low end jet in the carb body. This makes sure that all the air going in at low speed is directed over the jet and ensures really clean carburation and pick up.

Phil_P Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 A complete new carb was about £45. You want to have a look here; http://www.rowenacarbs.co.uk/ Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outkast Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 right Peeps I have now fitted my walbro 37, took a bit of modding but its all together, fired it up and it sounds smoother than before straight away, I need to get the carb set up, when I open the throttle it seems to bog down the motor, I also carried out the mod to the butterfly to clean up the idle and midrange, now as its bogging down would you say it was running too rich when I open the throttle? I set the low and high screw to recomeneded turns out but it was harder to start at those settings, do I tun the high/low screws in to richen it or out? any info would be great chaps. Thanks, Dave.

SW sounds like a plan, I am going to get another butterfly plate for the carb just incase the mod I did is causing problems, anyone know where I can purchase such and item? Dave.

mark_t Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi Dave you screw the Hi & Lo clockwise (in) to make the mixture leaner ( less fuel more air ) you screw the Hi & LO anti-clockwise (out ) to make the mixture richer (less air more fuel ) have a read of this site for carb tuning http://www.aerocorsair.com/id150.htm Some times my Parajet Macro plays ball and is fantastic to fly and other days it can be be a bit of a bugger ,but i tinker with mine a lot and try to get the best responce from the engine before each flite( i think its some thing to do with the air pressure on the day and humidity ) hope this helps but if any one can more be helpfull please do so regards mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_b Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi Dave Start the engine and warm up Adjust the lo screw (slotted) in clockwise until the rpm starts to drop (note position) Then adjust the lo screw out until the rpm starts to drop (note position) Now set to the centre of the two positions. Hold the motor very firm or get some one to help is best and do the same with the hi screw (T bar head). now you may have to adjust the lo screw a little in or out to get a smooth pick up when you open the throttle. This should get you pretty close for now. Pete b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entry positions of the HI and LO screws for the Solo 210 and DK Whisper GT, Cors-Air Black Devil, Cors-Air Black Magic Solo 210: LO minimum 1/8 - 1/4 of a turn from fully closed.

outkast Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi sorry for the late reply, been working away from home, I set both my screws to the factory settings and worked from there, the only way really is to try it and make adjustments as you go along.
