Kolbers,
I put up a couple of new pages.
Trying to adapt the Tillotson carburetor for in the cockpit air fuel
management. Tillotson carburetor description and modifications:

Trying to save some weight with new starter and magneto kill switches:

Experiencing a heat wave. Highs in the low 40's. A week of ground fog as
the snow slowly dissipates.

Jack, if the Tillotson carb already has high and low speed mixture screws, why are you messing with pressure probes and mixing valve?

Dana,
While I am at it I want to investigate both methods. I went mechanical
because I know it will work. During the ground testing, I have noticed that
the MZ 34 EGT has a tendency to float up a little when one closes the
throttle. This may be due to the vent position for the volume underneath
the fuel flow diaphragm. It is not a good static pressure vent.
The pneumatic system produced near constant EGT settings on the Bing 54 and
the Victor 1+. I want to see if it will work on the Tillotson and the MZ
34. If so, overall it will be much lighter than the mechanical system that
tweaks the needle jets.
