All done.

Looks great. Very compact, takes less room in the aft of the engine than the UHP manifold. If your carb will fit in your planes, the pump will fit.

I don't have a camera anymore, so I cannot post a picture.

Smasher,

The wording of your post indicates you have gone back to the carb - true?

I seem to recall you had trouble with the carb. I know I have had trouble with them. Don't know why (suspect it's an air leak) but I would sometimes hear a glitch in the engine. I never saw this with the RC planes because I rarely ran them flat out.

I use UHP manifolds exclusively.

I used the word "carb" because inevitably someone asks if a the stock carb will fit too.
