Ensign regulator

Majorlucas@yahoo.com · Jul 15, 2015

I have a 5 Star with most of an Ensign W regulator. I would like to replace it with a Century, however, there is an vacuum line from the
regulator to the carb. Where do I connect this to the Century? Thanks....

(or can I find another Ensign W)

Ensign is pretty much a thing of the past, and Century was sold to Impco, so if it's worth fixing you might as well update it too a Impco.

Ooofda! I have a good Century regulator, but not a matching carb and mixer. Not looking to restore, just to be able to work it....

I put a brand new impco mixer and regulator on my utu for around $300

the century regulator will not work with the Ensign carb. you need a Beam 120 regulator to replace the Ensign. cheapest way is try to find a used century carb. best way is to replace both with Impco, you will get better perfomance.

May have part or parts you are looking for----will check this weekend----but best option is Impco ---Or I could give you name and addresses of places with some or all of parts / repair kits you might need --I KNOW that some are UNAVAILABLE ---as I have been running on propane for over 40 years and to me it is the BEST for many reasons. Use to run and final inspect M-5 and 97 MF and 705 & 706 to rail ship at MM Lake street.

Thanks everybody! The next rain that comes through, I'll get some time in the shop and put her together!

Parts are are around for the Ensign regulator. Contact Welters in Verona, MO.
I rebuilt one last year.

Thanks. I rebuilt one a couple of years ago with good results, unfortunately this one is incomplete and has the water pipe cross-threaded into
the body. Fixable, if necessary, but too much time and money. A good Moline guy sold me a Century carb and regulator, that will bolt right on.
(same regulator as on my 900s). Once she is running, I'll know how much more $$$$ she will take to get to the field...
