Hello,
Can you still get the square black venturis for the Enya 35 (model5224). Is it the middle of the three versions required for stunt? Finally which NVA assembly is the correct diameter? Will the modern Enya NVAs be the right size?
I have dug out a couple of these engines (didn't know I had them!) and after a good clean and lube, they are in remarkably good condition. I just need a couple of venturi and NVA setups. Pity not to use these underated engines for a little sports flying.
I believe this topic has come up on more than one occasion, but the search function isn't turning up the goods!

Thanks,

Andrew. 

 

Hello Jim!
You are quite right, I must be getting lazy in my old age. If they were round, then I would make them. Its just easier to buy the square ones if they are available!

Best Wishes,

Andrew.

It'd be worth asking Enya about the venturis, as they can often help out with parts for old engines (a couple of years ago I bought a new crankshaft for a 1966 15-III from them).  They also did a run of new 5224s, with the square venturi, in the last 5 years or so, so there's a pretty good chance they could help you out.

Just to add, they still have screw sets, needle valves, prop nuts, hi and lo heads and crankshafts for both the 29 IV and 35 III, piston and liner sets for the 35s only. Possibly prop drivers as well.
