I hear ya'! And, I'll take any reasonable offer! On the 3W, I've never had anything but great ones. This one had a gap/hole to the outside world in the gasket because of... well... look at this thread:

All good now, though.

The forum software here is a lot nicer.

It's always been only the 3W 170 CS on there. If it was a DA-170 with 4 gallons of synth it would already be broken in. haha This thing is just starting to barely break in the tiniest amount. The power will come way up, and it's got some power now.
Cool, you were talking about lightening it up so I didn't know if you had made the switch or not.

Just checked out your thread. So the fix was to put a Tilitson carb on, interesting...
When I had my 3W 56, it came with a Walbro and I've always read the Tilitson's are a little harder to tune but once you get them tuned, they're the best.

That is definitely a good fix as the aluminum spacer between the reed block and the carb was designed and machined for the Tilitson. The impulse hole in the carb lines up with the impulse hole in the aluminum spacer. There is plenty of mating between the aluminum spacer and the carb even with the large holes drilled in the universal teflon insulator and the slotted holes in the universal stock gaskets (I call them universal because they are not cut and drilled for this one single application). However...
However... I was able to run the walbro without leaks. I had to cut my own gaskets. Although it is possible to get a teflon spacer that has not been ground out too much, use the stock universal slotted gaskets, and just barely get it to work. So, if you receive a Walbro or want a Walbro you can get it to run without leaking from the impulse hole.
Having said all that, I'm stoked to have a Tilitson on this 3W-170CS. One if doesn't leak at the impulse hole. haha And, two it's all I ever ran on my 3Ws and I'm used to them. The idle is better now, the high end is better, and the mid range is better.
