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. jsf ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:21:27 AM PST US From: "Larry Cottrell" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: corroded gas gauge ----- Original Message ----- From: john s. flannery .

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. j ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Cottrell To: kolb-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 11:20 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: corroded gas gauge ----- Original Message ----- From: john s. flannery .

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.

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+ -BB, one liter Suzuki, MkIII do not archive On 17, Aug 2006, at 7:46 PM, Larry Cottrell wrote: > - >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: john s. flannery >> To: kolb-list@matronics.com >> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 2:00 PM >> Subject: Re: Kolb-List: corroded gas gauge >> >> Thanks Larry, >> - >> Thought maybe the washers were causing or would cause a problem.

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.

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. http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/ronoy/
