Hello Artj.

As a fellow Tartan 34 owner, one of your comments got my attention, namely, that the carb is difficult to remove due to the very tight engine compartment.

I agree that there isn’t much room between the carb and the battery compartment. But in my experience at least, the main “knuckle scratcher” is detaching the scavenge tube. The fuel line, throttle, and choke cables are more accessible. My recollection is that it helps to remove the flame arrestor before moving the carb down and forward.

Of course, if you have an oil or fuel filter mounted across from the carb, access would be worse.

best regards,

Jack
