The Carburetor has no adjustments except for one which I assume has to
do with initial/starting gas supply -- all the other stuff appears to be
sealed. I am used to the old carbs where you had several screws to play
with. I wonder if there are some internal "smarts" built into this new
fangled carb that I don't understand or if the effect noted above is
just the motor clearing itself up internally for the new speed.
Nothing is simple anymore.
Otherwise I really like my Nissan and am interested in hearing more
discussion about going to a lower pitched prop. Does using a lower
pitch make the engine more efficient at cruising speed -- i.e. does it
run slower because the prop is more effectively coupled to the water?
Or what is the advantage of the lower pitch. I'm an electronic type and
can't quite get my arms around the concept.... If some of you
mechanical types can explain it to me, maybe I can tell you about Ohms
law or one of those other theoretical 'lectronic things.
Fall is here on the Potomac, the temperature and humidity are down and
the wind is up. Yippie!
