After 21 years of flying, I'm going to finally have to replace the single jointed
muffler on the engine. It's been welded twice before and now it's cracked again.
I have a new double-jointed muffler and never put it on for two reasons.
One, it has two EGT sender ports and I don't want to add another EGT gauge on
my panel. Second, the muffler end goes straight out instead of the exhaust pointing
up like this one does. I'm afraid the exhaust gases going out could weaken
the fiberglass Ivo prop, over time, as the prop is only a few inches from
the end of the muffler exhaust (I don't have a prop extension). What I can do,
is get the curved part cut out of the old muffler and welded on to the new one.
That takes care of that problem (or I could get a prop extension).
I thought about tying the EGT senders together. Has anyone else done this? I don't
see any problem with this. If one sends out more voltage than the other, it
would respond on the single EGT instrument I have, thereby indicting a high
EGT if either of the cylinders are too hot.

Hi Ralph,
I had the same issue on EGT -- originally one probe at the Y and one
gauge. Later determined I much preferred knowing EGT separately, so put
in a second probe. My solution to leaving it one gauge was to add a
small switch. I mounted it just under the throttle. Fwd is the fwd EGT
probe, middle is a neither, Rear is the rear EGT probe. I made myself
the habit of leaving that switch in the rear position, other than when
checking front EGT, to avoid inadvertently switching my ignition switch
from fwd to rear (OFF) instead. My ignition sw is bigger and mounted a
foot in front, but brain farts happen. Overall the solution has worked
well, although that is also with the recognition that a digital EIS with
alarm thresholds woulda been best.

I thought about a switch too, but if the engine gets hot, it will do it when the
switch isn't switched. I'm going to try and "Y" the two senders together and
use a cig lighter to see what happens. This seems the easiest way to do this
without adding another gauge.

| Subject: | Float & fuel tank info. |
I am seeking any information you folks may have for MKIII's on floats,
particularly mono floats.
Several years ago there was an outdoor (nature show) which included a
white Kolb MKIII with a mono float arrangement. I think it may have
been about Kodiak Bears in USSR??
I have an original MKIII Sn#035 and live in Yellowknife NT Canada. I
purchased it in the spring of 1991 from Holmer. All the metal work is
done and covering completed on the small parts but I have yet to cover
the wings or cage. It was inspected by our MOT in 1994 and the next
inspection due is pre-flight (my intensions are to register it as a
Canadian "Homebuilt"). I bought it as a single guy, have since got
married, had kids, ect. I'm back "into it" again and hope to make all
the parts become one soon!
Lately I have purchased an (unused) original 912 UL and plan to use it.
I am aware of the issues of the particular engine, however, I would like
to know what is done to increase the fuel capacity? I am toying with
the idea of a wing tank. Between drag strut and main spar of the
innermost 2 ribs would provide 20 gallons or so. Wing folding will
seldom if ever be required. Has anyone ever done this?
Regards, Jim Pook

Put in a small timer with a double pole, double throw relay,,, and have it
go from one to the other every 10 sec or so. You could have it light a led
to indicate front or back reading.

You could buy a double in one gauge for you EGT that way you wont have to
cut another hole in your panel Just a thought

I thought about that too, but I have a dual tach and EGT. If I get a dual EGT,
I will have to make a hole for another tach.

| Subject: | Sunday, in VA or NC |
I'm going to be in the Richmond/Virginia Beach, Virginia area on
business this weekend, and I have Sunday free... are there any Kolb
drivers out there that would let me ride right-seat/rear-seat on local
flight? If no takers, then I'll do the tourist thing and head down to
Kitty Hawk and the Wright Museum.

If no takers, that's a great destination. I felt awe, looking from the
memorial out over the area they flew. Check my website.

Wouldn't connecting the two wires together show the average of the temps, not the
maximum of either?
I don't think that will work. Just use the one egt hole and plug the other one.

If they are in parallel they should show an average.
