Any thoughts about this?

Too small at 38 mm and you need two complicating the throttle linkage.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

DJ Vegh in Phoenix was running one on his Corvair
http://www.imagedv.com/aircamper/log/GN1-log-001.htm
He finaly gave up on it as he had problems with it.
http://www.imagedv.com/aircamper/log/image-pages/11-22-03.htm
he notes:
* 4/2004*  I no longer have the AeroCarb.  There were several issues that I
could not get worked out.  I felt it best to get rid of it and I bought a 0
time Stromberg NAS3A1.  I no longer endorse the AeroCarb for use with a
Corvair, but bear in mind I only have about 15hrs worth of run time on it,
so my "endorsement" isn't worth much anyhow.
