TT53 - OS Carb mod - Pictures/diagrams needed

[Pabs]

Hey,

I've found lots of threads on here, and other heli forums, but haven't found any photos or diagrams of the adapter plate people have used to mount the OS 50 carb onto the TT53 engine.

I'm not entirely sure which engine revisions I have (one is a gold top, the other red - not sure if that is relevant) but I'd like to make some adapter plates for them as think we have a couple of OS 50 cabs lying around...

Looking for dimensions/diagrams for the adapter plate if possible - should be able to make something from those.

Thanks in advance!

I might be able to get one for you that I made for a mate and they never fitted it, give me an hour or 2

Wow - ok thanks!
I was reading your threads on this subjet a matter of minutes ago too... nearly PM'd you as you mentioned about diagrams...
Thanks!

I haven't been able to find my original model and drawings I've had new work laptop since then so I think they got deleted. I've defo got one somewhere and I gave one to a mate who didn't fit it so as long as I can find one or the other then it's yours.

thanks very much - I should be able to copy it and produce another for the other engine - would be good to get these 2 engines running properly
The OS carbs I have are both 2-needle versions so I'm hoping it'll make it a lot easier to tune.

I have an OS 60L carb with adaptor plate that came off a redline 53 if you want it its yours!

I fitted the 60B 3 needle and the 53 was good, they're good anyway but it was noticeably smoother and it helped the mid range no end

Looks like it'd do the trick!
Think I need to read up on the different carb types too.

Ok matey, let me know if you want it and I'll send it to you.
It's no good to me now as I've gone electric!

PM'd
Waveydavey if you do find your adapter as well, let me know as it will still be of use and save me making one

[waveydavey]

That is my adapter, where did you come across that. I sold the engine a couple of years ago was it to you Dan, doesn't ring a bell, maybe it was

That's strange!
I bought a redline 53 from 'Eddies Heli bits' on ebay a year or so ago and it had that carb on it which I replaced for the newer type 53 carb.

That's where it went in my night flyer 600 I remember now, it was sent with the original carb too. Well I never.
