to have such a large difference in required jets points to an underlying problem. On the 1/2 VW, each cylinder is a fully self-contained single cylinder and they should be able to run the same (or nearly the same) jets. I would look at the float levels, airfilters (swap), ignition timing (check each) and maybe swap the carburetors.
Is that a Molsor engine? I think that how u spell it ? I've got 1 that I need to buy some cylinders and pistons for it has 100 hours on it but it rusted in the walls and I would rather just get new 1s do u know where I can find them it's a 93 93 I asked a vw guy and he said they didn't make vw in odd numbers and acked like I didn't know what I was talking about!! Mine has skat heads and roller rockers big push rods 1073 cc in 2 cylinders if i remember correctly so thats a stroker engine 50 hp is the ratings on mine thanks for any help 👍!!
Hey Darrin,Kevin here in Oklahoma,was wandering if you run an oil cooler on your Legal Eagle,I'm going to switch to Mikunis and Scott said I would have to run an oil cooler.was thinking cooler for motorcycle,would like to here your thoughts on this.Your plane is beautiful by the way.Thx
I don't run an oil cooler. Elevated oil temperatures are far from an issue with this engine as I think other flyers have also found. Getting the oil up to temperature is the challenge.
I love your videos thanks for posting them !!
thanks for sharing that.
You're welcome

My thought too but this isn’t exactly a stock engine. Agree float levels are almost certainly the problem.
