--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "QSS" <msm@byterocky.net>
Hi Guys, we are having a lot of trouble getting the engine fired up and need some
advice from those that have the Ellison Throttle Body. I disassembled, cleaned
and reassembled it after the crash and hoped like hell that I had the settings
back where they belonged but I think the settings are all wrong. Does anyone
have any experience with these. Its a model EFS-2 and I thinking that if I
cant get some good info on it I'll have to send it back to your side of the world
for repairs. To those who contacted me off list about the wing strut ends,
John McBean has had one turned for me so he can help if your stuck. Thanks Guys
Cheers
Graeme Toft

Are you absolutely sure it's a fuel problem Graeme? If you go to the
Ellison web site you can download a manual for it that gives complete
adjustments. Generally once it's adjusted, no more are needed. Good luck.

I know this sounds simple, but might give it a try. If it's the starting
stage that's the problem try opening the throttle slide. The blow
compressed air over the metering tube. This will allow the TBI to prime.
Since there is no accelerator pump the chamber will not just fill on its
own. OK go ahead ask me how I know. :)

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "darinh" <gerns25@netscape.net>
I have a brand new nose gear kit (white powder coat) for sale. It is complete
with all parts, bolts, strut, and rim as shipped from Skystar. I aquired an S7
kit and don't want the nose wheel (tail wheel is the only way to go on a Fox,
IMO). The kit was $1,075.00 from Skystar, I will entertain offers. Highest
bidder gets it. Shipping will be $25 anywhere in the lower 48 states. I also
have a set of new tires and tubes. They are 6-ply McCreary's (2) 6.00-6 and
(1) 5.00-5 (mains and nose) for sale. Aircraft Spruce lists them for $249.85,
first $200.00 takes them. Shipping on the tires will be $20 to any of the lower
48 states.

Hi John:
You might consider contacting John McBean at 208-867-9519 (Idaho). He just
bought the assets of Skystar out of a bankruptcy, but prior to that has been
operating Sport Plane LLC which specializes in Kitfox kits and builder
assist. Good luck
Frank

Got a replacement radiator for the std NSI brass unit and after flight
testing, temps are down 20deg C, 21 C OAT. Coolant temp 95C in the climb and
settles at 90 in cruise, oil temp 90 also. I have an oil to water heat
exchanger so helps to keep the variation between the two close. Taxi temp
85.
So happy that the air flow is not the problem as that would mean chopping my
nice smiley face cowl to pieces. John A.

Thanks Rick, sometimes its the simple things that we overlook and this
suggestion may be right on the money becasue there is no fuel coming through
and we could'nt work out how to prime it. I'll let you know the results.
Thanks also Deke, I down loaded the manual as you suggested. You guys
obviously have a working knowledge of these gizmo's, so do you believe we
can do the necessary adjustments here or should it go back to the factory. I
have read the AD's on the model 2 and it appears that the bonding problems
they had with other models doesnt appy to this one.
Cheers
Graeme

Randy,
Is your battery mounted inside or outside the firewall? Anyone else have
input on the pros and cons of which side the firewall to mount it? Install
on a Model 5 with 912.

Most definitely mount behind the firewall. Heat and batteries are a most

Lloyd, Mine is a IV, but I have it cabin side of the firewall with the
Master Solenoid on the battery mount and the ground wire through the
firewall to the engine case. Braid then connects that connection to the
mount bolt on that side and through the bolt to the ground buss. The pos
side also goes direct from the master solenoid to the starter and the + from
that side to the circuit breaker buss.
In the IV, there is definitely no room on the engine side for a battery. At
least in my IV there is not.

Lloyd,
Mine is on engine side of firewall. I do have a Series 5 but with a Series 7
firewall forward. This moves the 912S forward about 4 inches which improves
cg with the light engine and gives more room for the battery.
One pro is short power runs with heavy wire. I guess I am blind to any
cons.... I am not worried about heat. The battery in my car and truck are
on that side of the firewall. I think that there is more air moving through
my cowl than through my engine compartments to keep temps down. In fact I
have a spare thermocouple on my eis there to monitor intake air temp. It
usually runs about 85 - 95 F. (I think. I will try to pay more attention
to it.) I just thought since I had it I would monitor as info relevant to
carb ice.
Randy

Randy,
Is your battery mounted inside or outside the firewall? Anyone else have
input on the pros and cons of which side the firewall to mount it? Install
on a Model 5 with 912.
Lloyd

That is great news John. Seems like very good temps
to me. If anything, your oil could be a bit warmer?
Maybe right about 100 C to boil the moisture off?
What do our Soob experts say???
