I've acquired a C 85 for my Piet, and I'm needing some hElp on choosing a carburetor.Maybe more importantly due to high density conditions here in TX I reallywant a carb with a functioning mixture system.That said the two carbs to choose from are the Stromberg NA-S3A1 or the Marvel Schebler MA-3SPA. Both are in pristine condition andmay have already been rebuilt. If you have experience with these and can give me pros and cons Id really appreciateit.

I'd go with the Marvel Schebler. The Stromberg's mixture control isproblematic at best. I keep mine wired full rich, but would sure like to beable to lean it out when flying over the mountains. I have to get to nearly5,000' to get to Brodhead from here.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Hey all Is anyone else planning on going to Blakesburg, Ia. this labor day day weekend? It is a great show with lots of old planes and runs for the week ending on labor day. Only second to Brodhead.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: AAA- antique airplane assn.
