 |
|
I've written about my efforts to get Superior to provide a shorter carb
to eliminate the interference with the 9A cowl. Here's the final
outcome.
Superior tested a shorter carb on two separate occasions and was unable
to get the test results within their specifications. Rather than wait
for another carb to be test, I elected to follow the advice of some on
this forum and purchase a scoop for an O-360 engine. Superior has
offered to pay for the scoop and is very apologetic. Apparently,
they've always used the same carb on their engines and hadn't
experienced a problem with fit until we tried putting them into the 9.
I've suggested to them that they notify all purchasers of the O-320 to
inform them that they will need the O-360 cowl. It is my understanding
that Superior will continue testing carburetors in hopes of finding an
acceptable substitute.
I received the scoop yesterday and bonded it to the cowl. The fit and
finish is very good, and the additional space should be more than
adequate to accommodate the FAB.
As a side note, Aerosport Power assembles the same engine with the
shorter carb. I can only speculate what this means.
