Never taken a close look at an airplane carb, but I understand
that
the standard config (not this stromberg, but rather something
like
in a basic 172N) has a fuel-bowl vent upstream of the venturi,
making the air pressure in the fuel bowl pretty much equal to
the
air intake pressure.... Kind of like a standard auto carb from a
few
years ago when they still had them. Let me know if that's not
right.

They're basically a float bowl and a tube. not a lot to
complicate
them, really. Probably the simplest carbs in operation today.

You're an idiot.

Nope.

But please don't let that stop you maxie.

What's new on teh gasket-front, Cap'N?

Not much. Need a gearbox though..

Can you do synchromesh?

They're OK, just need to do the spigot bearings.
