How I ran various engine controls to my A65 Continental engine. Go here for a great article on how to adjust your idle control adjustment to make starting easier and to eliminate acceleration/stumbling issues on cold days.

Mike - that is a fantastic video! Thank you! It answers so many questions I have. I think you have truly found your next career if this retirement thing does not work out.

Thank you so much, Mike. Just like the Champ----it's so easy to fall in love with these simple old taildraggers.

Am I seeing correctly that besides the idle mixture knob, you don’t have mixture control? If so, why is that?

@cookingwithcuyandotherfuns6238 6 месяцев назад

Hello David! Good catch. The A-65 engines typically have the mixture control arm wired full-rich all the time. The reason for that is that the engine runs just fine there all the time since most of these engines power Cubs, Champs, etc. and don't climb high enough to have to lean the mixture. Also many of these Stromberg carbs have the mixture control capped off---there isn't even an adjustment arm. Just full rich all the time. Some do have mixture control cables but only in high/mountainous areas usually.
