Any chance you could post the drawing of your carb?
thanks

Hi Harvey - I've now got the engine running. I'll post a video which shows the carb.
Cheers

Hi all - thanks for all the help and suggestions.
I've made various tweaks and got the engine running.
See video:

I am not certain to which carburetor to which you refer. The Hoglet never did have a specific carburetor because Randy thought everyone was like him and would just naturally know what to do/use. Here is Dave Bowes take on a carburetor.

Many thanks for the info about these carbs. I run all my engines on propane which complicates the carbs performance.

Harvey's latest message has just reminded me to update this thread!
I decided to make a Jerry Howell 2-Jet carb. There are two designs and I decided to opt for the one suitable for the Howell v-twin engine - because that is the next engine I hope to make. Not the best design for the Hoglet as access to one of the jet screws is a bit restricted. However it works well after a bit of tweaking.
I've attached a link to a video showing the first test run - some 15 mins into the video. I also made a video series of making the Howell 2-Jet carb - which might be of interest to others.
Cheers
Andrew
