NovaRossi 46 DD Aftermarket Carb

[David Santistevan]

I have had a lot of trouble with the stock carb on this engine so I would like to see if someone has am aftermarket option.

David,

Most of the early issues were with the idle screw being too small. This was fixed several years ago. What other issues are you having with the newer production carbs?

I have 2 new Orlic carbs $110 each plus shipping. I'll get pics tonight after work.

 

[David Santistevan]

Ron,

I have two of the new carbs, the last one I just got from you a few weeks ago. The problem is that the idle screw flares/buggers the grove in the barrel and the carb barrel jams. I was hoping the new carb you sent me would solve the problem but it did the same thing within the first two runs.

Sorry sold them to my cousin Aron

Ask Ken Retallick for a .46dd carby in the manufacture section..KRE carbies.

Quality work..

Orlic carbs on this motor is definitely a game changer....

 

[Mark Bullard]

I can take one or all of the carbs and make a peek barrel for the housing. It will become a barn door type carb with no low speed needle. We have had these troubles with all motor manufactures carbs for years. This is what I do on any motor that I run. Have not run a stock carb in over 25 years.

 

[David Santistevan]

Mark,

So you modify the carbs by making a new barrel for them? This is in a hydro so low speed is not a big deal for me.

 

[Mark Bullard]

That's right. Tried running low speed needles when I first started because that is what we used in airplanes. Hard to set a motor. And on the modifying of the carb, yes make a new barrel that is just a barn door. This takes the stop pin out of the carb which can break or cause the carb to spin out of the motor if the servo stops are not set just right. This is true on any motor and manufacture.

Been having a lot of issues with this on the .21DD... Broke about 5-6 pins and went through a couple rotors...

Also I have noticed that these 21DDs have a lot more vibration then the wrap around novarossi engines. Its very noticable when im doing R&D on the dyno spinning these engines up. About 28-30,000RPM they get to shaking pretty good!

It is kind of unusual that some manufacturers still do things the same way even though time after time the same problems arise . The in / out articulating carb type is just not a good deal for boats . CMB does it on the VAC carbs for what reason I'll never know , all it does is eat parts and lose heats . Maybe it has something to do with motor mount solidity , pushrod type etc . Not solving the problem but just some thoughts .

 

[BobLondress]

I have one of Mark's modified carbs on my 46DD and have no problems at all with it.

Doesn't seem Novarossi is going to fix it so its up to us i guess. May contact Mark and see what he sells his modified carbs for as well. If hes got it figured out then hey that saves me time and time is $!

Have Fun Testing,

Adam,

I already told you to reach out to Mark if you wanted to investigate another carb option. We are very fortunate to have manufacturers supporting our hobby. Unfortunately for us, the sport market is 10 fold what the racing market is, so when it comes to certain mods to work with marine engine racers, its the same across all manufacturers. The standards are going to be geared to the volume of sales. Because of this, the in/out rotation of carbs to benefit the use of a low end needle, also a must for sporters, will probably never change for stock carbs. If we all work together we can figure out the minor details to make these powerplants even better for our hobby. Making brash comments about "Novarossi not fixing the issue" are nothing but negative against our hobbly and the willingness of manufacturers to keep us in engines and parts.

Ron did you really just quote me and insinuate that im intentionally trying to hurt "our hobby" OR "Novarossi"?? I actually do a lot to help it, the people in it and have for MANY years. I in no way was trying to disrespect Novarossi.... heck i run nothing but NOVAROSSI engines in my marine applications and constantly boast and brag about their quality so what would be my intentions behind doing such a thing?! I was simply stating the TRUTH that its up to us to fix this known issue with the carbs that many of us are having. I don't see where i was so wrong in stating the truth... And i fully understand the sport market compared to what some of us that race are doing. So i don't need a lesson in that... I feel you took me wrong and just came in here and made it a point to intentionally disrespect me and point the finger like i was intentionally trying to bash Novarossi which i don't appreciate and i can assure you i was not! If it came off to you that way then you read it wrong.... After all its just words on a screen with no emotions etc..

I have a call in to you and am waiting on a return call as i wont go into all i have to say on a public forum. But i will say seeing these accusations were very disappointing to me especially coming from a guy i spend a lot of my hard earned $ with and try to help their business.

 

[RonShaw]

Adam,

Look at my response. It was a general statement about working together and the obvious, nothing against you. I said

the same thing I said in the phone call you made to me. There are many carb options such as what Mark Bullard has done. You are way off on your perception. Your help in growing this hobby and the Novarossi brand is always appreciated. You just need to be very careful in how its posted in public forums as many of our manufacturers invluding Novarossi follow these posts. Thanks.

 

[Tom Foley]

Manufactuers can only benefit by the real world experiencies and observation of people that actually using the products as intended and not in a microscopic test environment. Tiptoeing through problems will not solve them .

. Aftermakket small manufacturers should not have to work overtime to solve these issues . Hope Nova Rossi is watching. Bolt on single rotation , single needle carbs are what work for boaters .
