Hi, I have a fa120 fat head with the flanged 2 bolt inlet manifold. I rebuilt the engine quite a few years ago. I ran it this evening as I'm going to fly it on the weekend. It also had the same exhaust pipe. I've made a silencer and remote needle valve. I removed the choke and made a inlet trumpet. It runs beautifully. 😊
Thanks for telling this as a story making it an interesting documentary on this unique engine. Based on the comment below I see that you intend to eventually run it. That will be awesome.
