So I have decided to make my first major alteration to my airplane. I was not the builder. I am handy and normally do all my own maintenance, but to be honest, carburators and fuel systems have always always been an area of personal frustration.
I bought an Ellison TBI that has never been used but has been sitting on a shelf in a hangar for 8 years (in the box and a bag). I bought the honeycomb to control the Venturi turbulence.
From everything that I have read, it should be as close to a direct replacement as it gets. My throttle cable and mixture cable are the single shaft push/pull version. I have an air box with carb heat that fits the cowling very tight.
My fuel system is plumbed as follows.
From the:
Tank
Selector
Fuel pump
Gascilator (that has a non insulated heat shield around it)
Electric primer (plumbed from the gascilator)
a well insulated, fire sleeved fuel line to the carb (now TBI).
So I'd like to see if anyone has any advice before I start the install.
Thanks for any help and advice that anyone can offer.
