BME-102 or 3W-100??

The carb is a HS232D.

that's an awesome bit of information you just shared! thanks!

if I can get a new carb I'll just mount it and run it without sending the whole thing to Florida.

If you can't find a carb let me know, I have one that you can have. You should also have the updated aluminum reed cage as it keeps fuel from puddling. Picture of this engine has the older style Ryton reed cage, it's black.

the plot thickens.........here's what is on there

When you send it to AI, Gerhardt has the carbs, brand new, I just got one for my 106, in stock. Get the aluminum carb block while you are at it. Those phenolic blocks are very prone to air leaks from delamination and warping. The warping you can fix with sandpaper and a flat surface, but the delamination is harder to get right. I know this because I fought with my 150 TOC for a LONG TIME before I finally put the aluminum carb block on and no more issues It will be money well spent.

Bart, you got yourself a classic 3W 100. Those motors actually have more grunt than the 106's.

The warping comes from being overtightened. The Ryton carb mounts did the same thing. I never had any issues with "puddling"with the Ryton blocks. I was always tweeking the needles on my 100/106's. But this was after 10 gallons of fuel to break the engines in.

Ain't it awesome how much better the 3W's run the older they get.
