I'am having no problems with my water temps. I'm visiting my kids here in San Francisco, so if I don't get back to you until Tuesday, it's because I don't always have internet access. Fred what concentration? What do you dilute it with? I use Havoline Extended Life and dilute it 50/50 with distilled water ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:37:40 PM PST US From: Malcolmbru@aol.com Subject: Kitfox-List: 582 jeting on a choped muffler k f 2 --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Malcolmbru@aol.com any body have any experences with jetting the K F 2 582 with the choped muffler ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:59:20 PM PST US From: "Rex Shaw" Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Fuel backflow valve? --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Rex Shaw" Hi ! Ron, not sure if this is the exact answer you are looking for = but what I'm in the process of doing is a bit similar. I am using a = Facet 40171 pump from Aircraft Spruce. It has check valves that stop = flow in either direction when the pump is turned off or failed. I have a = Rotax 582 with the dual outlet DF52 pulse pump. I also am changing that = for a triple outlet pump. I am taking two outlets from the header tank. = One as is now through a filter to the pulse pump the second outlet = through the Facet 40171 and another filter to the 3rd outlet on the new = triple outlet pulse pump. What will be happening is the outlet chamber = in the new pulse pump will be acting as a "T" piece so either or both = pumps can feed the carbies. Also pressure from the Facet pump won't be = able to feed back due to the outlet valve in the pulse pump. So long as the outlet chamber diaphram and outlet valve remain OK, and I = will change this pump every two yearswhich is already a service = requirement. I will be able to run with both pumps or just the pulse = pump. If the pulse pump fails other than the outlet diaphram and outlet = valve then I can run on just the Facet pump. The usual failure in the = pulse pumps is the pulse diaphram. This setup will also give me two filters either one of which can block = and I am still OK. Further I am adding an electronic Gem 205300 sensor in the top of the = Header tank so if the fuel starts to run out in the header tank I will = know that I only have that volume of 3 litres left and about 10 minutes = power to land somewhere. The sensor will activate a flashing LED on the = panel plus a beeper in my intercomm to warn me. I will be able to switch = this off so as to get rid of the distraction. Perhaps you can glean some info or ideas from this. = Rex Shaw. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:56:44 PM PST US From: Sid Hausding Subject: Kitfox-List: Not asking a lot hear, just a minute of your time..............for the kids. --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Sid Hausding this is for a Michigan Boy.........give him your vote!

It's easy to click on the link and vote. Some of us know Maybury State Park well, and wouldn't mind seeing some improvement on the field! >>>"Robin Hunt" 05/11/06 10:57 AM >>> Hello, I am writing you to ask a favor on behalf of a young man that plays baseball in our league and on behalf of everybody that enjoys baseball or softball. Whether you are a member of the KVBSA or not I would like to solicit your vote. We have a young man, David Schulte, of the U9 Novi Powercats, who entered a contest through Briggs and Stratton and was chosen as a "Diamonds in the Rough" regional winner. On top of that he is in the running for the $20,000 field renovation grand prize that they are offering. If he wins, Briggs and Stratton will help renovate their field in Maybury State Park. As part of the prize presentation Briggs & Stratton will also send out a film crew to capture the presentation and that film will run in Comerica Park during Tiger games. In order for David to win he needs votes. Lots of votes.He is the only contestant from the state of Michigan and I know that this baseball/softball group that are receiving this message are all supportive of improving the opportunities of our youth, no matter where they are playing. What better way to support our kids than to vote for better fields and playing conditions. I am asking each of you to take a minute and go to the following website and vote for David to help him and Michigan win the contest To vote all you have to do is go online to http://www.briggsdiamondsintherough.com, enter your email, then select the vote button under David S. Age 8. He already has one, mine, and I would ask everyone to support his efforts. He is the only Michigan entry, so a vote for David is a vote for baseball in Michigan. Everybody that votes only gets 1 vote so the more people that take a minute to do this will help David in his quest. Any help you could lend in spreading the word and raising some votes would be greatly appreciated. If you have an e-mail distribution list to whom you can forward this information, please do so. If you are a coach and can send this to all of your parents and players to solicit their vote that would also be greatly appreciated. All votes need to be cast by May 21st I hope you all have a great season, whether it is high school or summer ball. I look forward to seeing you on the diamonds and thank-you in advance for your co-operation Sincerely, Jeff David President KVBSA P.O.Box 1885 Brighton, MI 48116 586-206-7646 *** If you would like any further information regarding the KVBSA or any upcoming tournaments this summer please e-mail jeff.david@kvbsa.com or visit the kvbsa website at www.kvbsa.com *** Please let me know if you would like to quit receiving e-mails from this address and be taken off of any future distributions.
