Re: Engine: Verner 3VLA (Mikuni 26-606)

It's very unscientific to choose a carb based on heresay but that's what I did.  Less (& others too, I believe) said that they are using the Mikuni 26-606 on their Verner.  The price was $111 which seemed reasonable for a try.  Yesterday I got the little (fuel) squirt mounted but before doing that I took a few pictures.

The small bore on this thing has me wondering  :-\  if it's going to be able to get the job done at full throttle.  Well, it should idle nicely if nothing else.  I like that it has the choke handle on the carb.  Since I'll be hand-propping this will be just purfect.

I haven’t decided on a carb for my 3v yet. I’m curious about how to prevent carb icing. Are some carbs more prone to it than others? Has it been a problem for any of you guys?
