REFLECTOR: PROBLEM SOLVED

[Larry Parham]

My Velocity/Franklin that I bought last year has had low RPM surging and not 
enough static RPM
Also I had to use Carb Heat to start.  After 6 months of trying everything I 
happen to notice that the CARB number MA-5 (10-5043) that was on my plane 
was not the number the service manual said to use.
Richard Ring who owns a Velocity/Franklin was also having carb problems and 
after he had it rebuilt he allowed me to test it on my plane.  His carb 
works perfect on my plane.
The carburetor was supplied by Goodman, alone with other accy. so I would 
suggest you look closely at your MA-5 and determine for yourself if your 
carb is working properly.  The original builder never new he had a problem
It seems to work ok with the IVO, with the variable pitch prop, but I do not 
think it does.  When you install a Catto it does not develop enough RPM.  
Hope this will help someone else.
Thanks for the REFLECTOR and Richard Ring.  Without support I may never have 
found the problem
I now need to buy a MA-5 (10-4865) if any one has one for sale. Or should I 
research a Throttle Body      again thanks
