Hi. When I pull mixture to idle cutoff the part of the lever that contacts the cone on the mixture rod pushes back to move the top part forward to push the cut off button into the carb but although i's getting to the widest part of the cone it's not moving far enough to push the button in all the way and cut off the fuel flow. I mad a temp fix with tape to extend the point of the lever that contacts the cone and with that added length on the point it did cut off properly - about 0.030" was added. I don' think that is a good solution so I came here to ask the experts! Is this a know problem with a known resolution? I had the engine and carb rebuilt and this is the first time it's been run - could the carb have been rebuilt incorrectly? Any advice would be welcome. Well, any except junking the carb - I can't afford to do that! Cheers Gary. Starduster N503CM, HO-360 B1B

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
