| Subject: | corroded gas gauge |
Not into endorsements but found a product which might help someone. The
fuel gauge was totally corroded when I pulled it. Found EVAPORUST AT
Autozone under ten bucks and also with a rebate until December of this
year. Soaked gauge overnight and cleaned up beautifully. Not sure gauge
works... have to rewire...still a problem there, but this cleaned up
nicely. Can't believe either that something labeled Environmentally safe
actually works. Now need to know about unusual wraps from CHT sensor
wire near muffler, and if with sensors, there should still be washers
under the sparkplugs.

Yes you do. I asked that very question at the LSA maintenance school
that I just attended at Corning, Ca.

Thanks Larry,
Thought maybe the washers were causing or would cause a problem. Do you
still anneal washer after cleaning plugs as we did with spamcans?
I bought, but haven't installed a replacement CHT sensor. Did get
gauge to rise sporadically with the old, but it was always 100 degrees
below the other with equal heat. So new one goes in when I get back out
to hangar.

I guess the rest of the list is on vacation or something, but about
your question, if it was me I would throw away the old plugs and buy new
ones. I believe that 25 hours is the recommended interval.

John, non spam canners (most anyway) don't know you heated
those old thick copper washers red hot and tossed them in a water pail.
-just like new again, or at least until they got too skinny.
What I'm running now takes car plugs so that doesn't happen anymore.
Remember the BG plugs you could take apart?
25 hours seems a little low for a 4 stroke. Mine are still running well
at 50+

Conflicting info, I learned years ago to remove the spark plug washer
if a cht sensor was installed, been running my Cayuna for about 200
hours without washers, works good.

This from another list: (no, I didn't do it!)
I made a hard landing tonight (PPC) and my Ivo prop nicked my upper
strut. I have another strut but one blade on the prop has a slightly
damaged tip. It looks like it is delaminated slightly. I heard that
super glue and baking soda would fix it. If anyone knows how, please
post ASAP. I want to fly Saturday.
I suspect tip repairs aren't the same as a small nick. Any replies
will be forwarded.
regards,
Bob N.
