Dale,

Similar to what everybody else is doing.

One four cell Fromeco into a reg with two outputs. One switch.

Single 50 oz. tank, single clunk, y'd to the carbs. I'm getting two normal Unlimited sequences with normal cruising around. I'm landing with a couple of minutes left in the tank.

I removed the choke levers on the right side and installed two nosewheel steering arms and a linkage, similar to the throttle setup. Chokes both carbs together.

Daniel

Well I have a 9303 and I won't have enough channels to have all the servos on there own channel. Plus I don't not what to y two 7950's together. I know some have done this with great results but am not.

It would be great if the DA was rated for a straight 8.4 lipo then you can ditch the reg.

Thanks Dan for sharing. Wayne, want to set up your choke the way Dan does so you only need one pull? I may link mine like Dan does but still hook the chokes up to a servo.

I'm basically going to do the same thing except run a servo to the choke.

I think I am going to run a three line system with two clunks. I know the two line system with a Y works but I figured I will make sure I have no fuel draw issues this way.

I'd be worried about them getting all twisted up in the tank.

I dont see how you would have an issue with fuel draw with 2 carbs sucking fuel out of 1 tank. Seems to me it would be better......

Kevin Y · 10-21-2009, 01:23 PM

Well when Andrew was having some trouble getting his 200 started in the Godfrey I called Bryan at DA and went through the setup with him and we talked about the fuel setup. He told me back in the 3W days they would occasionally see issues running a fuel T or Y to the carbs. He suggested running the three line system, but again he said it was not generally a big deal.

I have not setup the tank yet so it still may change. As for the lines getting twisted, I don't really see that as a likely thing but if I do go with the three line system I will make sure that there are no problems with it. You could always zip tie the two clunk lines together so they move the same way.

its not the tank that would be the problem. In theory it would be having to feed two carbs with one line, and the carbs wanting more fuel then one line could supply. That is where the problem would be if any.

Kevin,

I've ran 1 line from the tank with a "T" outside the front of the firewall to the two carbs from the beginning, and haven't had an issue with it at all. There hasn't been any draw issues. Of course I use the oustandingly awesome phenominal JTEC fuel "T"'s to make sure that I get the fuel supply I need!!!
