Whoa Nellie Belle!! Way to go Pete! I must have been asleep at the wheel or something, I 'missed' the last two pages of posts ??? Man, that is a sweet model you got going there and I can only imagine the ear to ear grin it gives you (or is hat a residual effect of the HT gods? ;D)
VERY nicely done, now I'm going back and review this thread from its beginnings in case I missed something else. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Thm:

There are couple of little things I want to do to the Wallaby at my leasure, for instance before I run her again I want to set the rockers using feeler gauges and remove the throttle bush to compare rev rates.
The RC carby has a throttle hole of approx .216 and reved higher then my carby with a bushed hole of approx .190
I am mildly curious to see how it runs with the .250 of the original Sea lion design, but I feel the low compression and mild valve timing of the Wallaby may not need the extra air flow, she is after all a tractor not a race car. ;D

Just An update guys
I have just come into the possesion of the original Carby Article for the Wallaby and may decide to build it in the future, of course that would leave me with a working Sea lion carby.
ummmm :noidea:
anybody out there got the Sea lion Articles :big: :big:
