Topic: 24hp ELS carb and coil question

[hectorshouse]

Hi,

I have a new 44 ci intek/ELS engine on the bench being stripped. When looking through the Nikki carb venturi the butterflies are not quite horizontal at full throttle. Is this normal or a way to reduce the hp a little for the 24hp rating?  A small amount removed from the arm/stop on the end of the butterfly spindle would allow the butterflies to be fully horizontal.

Coils, I have a Vanguard 23hp on the bench also (I'm swapping from Vanguard to ELS). The coil part numbers for these engines are different and not cross referenced that I can see ELS 691060 and Van 492341. When compared they look identical, does anyone have information on these coils and if they are interchangeable?

Thanks in advance

Steve

My experience. I run a intek twin, and have used coils of vanys, and singles with success. The stock intek carbs can be played with. personally I went with the ec dominator have had very good luck with it makes good power too...

Thanks for the reply, I'm waiting for spare coils to arrive from the USA just now. Even with the import taxes and shipping they are less than half the price for the same in the UK !!
