Smaller Venturi for LA 25
Allen Eshleman:
I have an LA 25. Great runner but it must have one of the larger or largest venturis made for it. It is drinking 3 oz. of fuel in just over 3 minutes. It certainly runs fast and powerful. What size of the smaller venturis, as in those made by Jim Lee would be a good one to try? Thanks.
Allen Eshleman:
I just noticed the Post above with Randy Smith's recommendations.
Thanks Randy.

Use the ****stock**** venturi and ****stock**** spraybar. .257 and .135 respectively.

You're welcome.
BTW, 3 ounces in 3 minutes is not way off for a brand new engine, with a richer-than-I-would-run-it setting or oversized prop. Over the first 20-30 flights, that will drop dramatically down to maybe 3.25 ounces for 6:25. You can tell it is very tight by noting how hot the front end/plain bearing section is getting. First run and it gets far too hot to touch. 10 flights later and its pretty normal.
