AeroCarb on a 2400cc Hummel style engine.

[rizzz]

Got to install my AeroCarb (red menace as it's known to some ;) ) on my engine yesterday.
I know some have more luck with this one than others (hence the nickname) but you've got to love the simplicity of the installation. No fuel pumps, primer, carb heat, ram air intake etc.
That's got to count for something, well worth giving it a try.
If in the end I do find it doesn't work out for me I can then decide to opt for another (probably more complicated) option.

After posting the photo's of my AeroCarb installation someone noted they are better installed in line with the engine so the fuel gets evenly distributed at the split of the intake manifold (thanks Richo). I contacted Sonex to confirm this and they said generally yes but it depends on the manifold, it might work well the way I had it but no guarantee.
Not a big deal to turn the carb 90 degrees so I might as well do that now, I cannot get it 100% straight in line with the engine as the mixture arm would contact the cowling outlets but I can get pretty close, within 5 degrees or so, that must be good enough.
