Default Line setup for gasser

I've got a Brillelli 26SS that I'm getting ready to install in a Hellcat. How do the lines connect to the carb? (in case you can't tell I'm a first timer). There are three fitting on the 26SS. The first is connected to the "manifold" block between the carb and engine. The second is bent approx. 90 degrees and the last comes off what looks to be the diaphram area of the carb. The carb is a Zama. Any help guys?

Thanks in advance.

Isn't there a picture of this in the manual? I seem to remember one. Seems this is a common question.


The 90 bent on goes to your tank.. the other one gets attached to a line and run into the fuse.

Here's a pic of the carb on the 46. VERY similar.

Plumbing these can be confusing....

Thanks for the help guys. I didn't receive a manual with my engine. Got a one page instruction sheet form Scott the other night. It gives instructions for tuning but not for plumbing.

Thanks
Gary

Hey Sinergy, do you fly one of the Nitroplanes Giles 202 140? I was thinking of picking one up. Seems like a great price and a good home for a 26SS or maybe a 40GT. Any thoughts on this?

Actually I dont have anything that small so I am not much help. I had one of their smaller planes and while the construction was ok.. you could def. tell it was a bit cheaper made. I dont know about their planes taht are that size though.

I just ordered a WH 85" Cap though as a new home for my 54

OK guys another question. The line you all are saying goes into the fuse, what is the purpose and is there a chance fuel can leak from this and soak the fuse?
