fox engines ??

They used to sell an adapter for mounting a Perry carb on their engines. I wonder if they still do? That would be nice. I like Fox engines.

I'm not doubting what you say about the Perry, but where do you live?

I used to fly my Perry carbs in southwestern NJ and never had to readjust the idle.

The thing is, I hate to pay retail for an engine that needed optional parts to make run right.

All of the larger Fox engines I had came with two-needle carbs. A few years back they were offering an air bleed version.

Gee, looks just like the ones they used to fit as standard.

afterward.

Georgia, You have to adjust for hot days and cooler ones in the summer, I don't think it was that bad in the winter. But after getting used to it you know just where to dial the pointer.

No the older twin needles had a flat knurled disk instead of a knob and the body was more squareish. They look more like the EZ carb but with a needle sticking out the right side.

They just came out with this twin needle carb. Old stock may have the EZ carb, if you request the twin needle they will send it with that, but old stock at a hobby store may have the EZ carb. The older MK series was a pretty good carb but the needle settings were a bit course for lower nitro fuel.

Me too, but some times I just enjoy playing with a Fox. It's kind of a separate hobby to the rest of model airplanes.

I can believe that.

I live in Georgia now, too. It gets HOT down here!

engines. I

Fox no longer offers one. But Conley does.

How much older? I have 20 year old twin needle carbs on a pair of Fox .50s (ringed aluminum pistons in steel sleeves). No knurled disks on either. Likewise all the Eagle IV .60s, including the one I still have. And the Quickee 500 race engine. The EZ air-bleed carb came after the twin needles that I used and still have three of.
