Hi Lynn,
It's quite easy to lean a bing. You just have to create a low pressure in the fuel bowl. The lower pressure you have, the more you lean.
Some people use the engine low pressure. I think HACman use this method :

Other people use an homemade air pump. The same kind of pump that you can find in a vacuum cleaner. This pump is located between the air box and the fuel bowl. With this method you can have an electric control of the mixture (partial vacuum depends on rpm). It's very safe because you just have to switch off the vacuum pump and you run a "normal bing".
How simple is it ? (see picture)

This system has been designed by Michel Colomban. Michel Colomban is the designer of the Cricri (http://flight.cz/cricri/english/cri-cri-photos-pictures-cameron.php) and other airplanes like Bambi, MCR and Luciole.
With this system you can obtain a leaner mixture but not a richer one. So if you want to lean a bing, you need to apply JSB 18 in order to have a rich mixture in “normal” operation.

Good Evening Jerome,
Pretty cool!
More than one way to skin that cat.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Hi Jerome-
If I understand this system correctly, you are putting a vacuum (low
pressure) on the float bowl, so the engine is fighting against this
vacuum to get its fair share of fuel, right? So it goes lean if you
put enough vacuum on the float bowl?
Somebody local told me about his leaning device, and it sounded
pretty much the same. I think he used the vacuum from the engine
going through a needle valve to control the vacuum, if I understood
him correctly.

Lynn, One of the guys on the Kolb list has been experimenting with mixture control in the way you describe. Seems to work.

You understand this system correctly Lynn.
The advantage of the electric pump is the ability to be controlled by an
electronic device. So, a cab engine can be controlled like an injected one.
Electronic Controlled carb advantages :
- Very easy to adapt
- no problem in case of electric failure
Electronic controlled Injection advantage (single injector) :
- better fuel vaporization (as Ellison and Rotec TBI)
But, as a lot of people reports, the big deal is to balance the intake of
the engine...

Well then, I've got the best of all possible worlds, because I've got
a gravity feed fuel flow into the Rotec TBI, and if all electrical
systems fail, I've still got fuel. Of course, with my Electroair
ignition system, I still need a battery...but then, I've got two of
them, so I'm good to go, unless I'm REALLY havin' a BAD DAY! : )
