Kurt, I'm one of those who drilled out the nozzle. Up here the Michigan
winters proved real quick that the stock nozzle size wasn't hacking it. It
would initially start, but not enough prime available to keep it running.
Never had a problem after the drilling. As for how much it shoots? Who
cares...

Kurt,
Ok I see you just open your pressurizd fuel line up just like turning on
the tap.
I was thinking that you had a solenoid that shot a pre-measured amount of
fuel like most primers do.
Kinda scary if that solenoid even stuck open don't you think ?

If you are still using the old style Skystar wheels, Wicks aircraft has the tire
that will fit. It's called turf glide and I put them on my Fox. They are 4ply
so a bit harder to get around the rim but they do go on. I like them!!

Well, this is way cool. A while back I asked about raising the Vne on the
model 4 and was told it couldn't be done. Now I here that if you put in the
.125 windscreen you can raise the Vne. I look at raised Vne as a means to
straighten the air structure. Not necessarily a means to go faster. I am
building into my model 4 everything for the speedster except the vertical
stab stuff, why, I don't see a reason to. The gap between the vertical and
rudder is eliminated with a piece of wood(in my airplane) that runs down the
trailing edge of the vertical with openings for the attaching points for the
rudder. I'm shortening the wings to speedster length. I'm contemplating
putting on the two weights per aileron, I feel this would cut down the
chance of flutter in the ailerons. Lastly, the airplane is getting 2.7
ounce fabric with rib lacing. Should make for a better airplane.

John Mcbean can correct me on this but I believe that the speed on the
Model IV was limited to 125 MPH because the wind screen distortated at the
higher airspeeds. The Model IV came with a .093 inch thickness. I now
have a .125 inch wind screenand have increased my Vne to 140 MPH
Other differences of the earlier Speedsters was split flaperon. Dual
balance weights on flaperons, 1/2 on each end. Built up tail feathers,
electric trim. Shortend wings. Radiator scoop fairing etc. And of course a
.125 inch wind screen that people seem to have trouble installing. I put
one on and had no problems. Clint

Shortnaked,
Primer stuck open?
That's nothing. How about having a bird fly into the
cowl and break the primer line off, blowing raw fuel
on the engine? In flight fire. Then land in an ammo
dump. Then hit mud and flip over. The plane burns
up, but you walk away with just seat belt burns...?
Some people will do almost anything just to get back
to building. :-) Right Howard?
A guy who picks a good, safe plane, builds it well,
flys it well, still needs some luck and a little help
from above for good mesaure. IMHO
Actually, all kidding aside, I am more worried about
my gascolator than the primer. If the primer sticks
open, the engine will probably flood and quit. That
is unlikely to happen any time after startup. But I
have the standard gascolator and don't think much of
its structure from a safety standpoint. If it breaks,
I'll probably get hot feet as a minimum. Unlike
Howard, I'll need good luck, Devine intervention, and
group theropy after that...

I agree. Mine will hold 13.8 if perfectly leveled,
but will vent with far less than that due to an angled
hill between me and my runway. Wings are stained even
thru the clear aerothane.

I assume that your primer is activated by a solenoid ?
well if it stuck open and kept pumping fuel most likely you would flood out
the engine. this is ismular to a fuel injection in a electronic fuel
injection used in automotive and when you give full throttle you just flood
the engine. If it works for you great.
A manual primer with a regulated and consisitent volume manual would be in
my opinion satisfactory and near fool proof.

I put in something like 14.1 if I recall correctly. Funny story though.
The first time I was doing my calibration, I filled the right tank 1 gallon
at a time with the fuel valve close of course. Each time I carefully marked
the position on the sight glass. Well, I put in 10 gallons, then 11, then
12, then 13, then 14, then 15, then 16, then 17....before I said...waiiiit a
minute, what's going on. I finally figured out fuel was flowing back to the
header tank via the fuel vent hose!

Has anyone measured exactly how much fuel can be put in the standard 13 gal
wing tank?. Clint

Shorty,
The primer is not just like an automotive system. If it were to stay open,
simply lean out the fuel mixture control to compensate for the additional
fuel.

I assume that your primer is activated by a solenoid ?
well if it stuck open and kept pumping fuel most likely you would flood out
the engine. this is ismular to a fuel injection in a electronic fuel
injection used in automotive and when you give full throttle you just flood
the engine. If it works for you great.
A manual primer with a regulated and consisitent volume manual would be in
my opinion satisfactory and near fool proof.

Great point Lance,
The amount of fuel being sprayed into the intake
manifold in this setup is small compared to a direct
primer, or direct fuel injection. If it opened in
flight, I think you would see the engine go rich and
would naturally lean it to compensate, even before
knowing why you needed to. Only at low power settings
would you see the volume of extra fuel go very rich,
IMHO.
It would require a new mixture setting with every
throttle change though, since the primer volume is
steady.
Never heard of any such failures with this system. I
think ACS carries the solenoid, so others may be using
it too. In any case, it seems to work.
