• 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.

I pulled the carburetor from my O-320 and have begun installation of a Rotec throttle body.

My plans are to create a mixture control linkage which features a spring loaded overtravel from the full rich position. The purpose of this would be to trigger the diaphram override button on the fuel supply regulator.

Is there any reason I should not do this?

Alternatives to triggering the override button via the described mechanism would be the installation of an electric solenoid to trigger the button, or another cable back to the cockpit to trigger the button.

Thoughts?
