| Subject: | What's My Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
Some have asked, "What's my Contribution used for?" and that's a good question.
Here are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables. It provides
for the very expensive, commercial-grade T1 Internet connection used on
the List insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when accessing List
services. It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling
the highest performance possible for services such as the Archive Search
Engine, List Browser, and Forums. It pays for narly 20 years (yeah, I really
said *20* years) worth of online archive data available for instant random search
and access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and
maintaining the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List
Browse, Search Engine, Forums, and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses. How many places
on the Internet can you make all those statements these days?
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many aspects of these valuable
List services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one
of the best investments you can make in your Sport...

| Subject: | Re: Belly fuel pod on a Kolb? |
I brought the subject up years ago...
John H suggested it would be a bad idea...
I took his advise and will get extra fuel some other way...
So far... on cross country flights... I change over to "Two"
blade on my IVO... and go 100 mile legs pretty easy...
That's been good enough that I haven't needed to carry more fuel

The gear gives out.... there's yer tank....

That would be me Mahesh ! I am glad you opted for this solution, it is the best,
most reliable way to feed fuel form the top draw tanks you can get. Kolb has
been good at updating and improving their planes over the years, and they don't
do it just because they are bored and have nothing better to do. Kolb does
updates like pickup tubes, gear, and others for a very good reason. You will
have many years of flying, and not have to worry about your fuel pickup tubes
again :)

It is not as pretty as a real picture but this google earth picture gives you an
idea of the strip and lake.

Hello,
I could use some help. I am running out of idea's. I have a 503 with dual Bing
54 carb's. The engine starts and runs well up to about 2000 RPM. After this RPM
it has nothing left it just bogs. I have gone through both carbs so many times
I could do it in my sleep. I don't think it is fuel pump problem because I
have rebuilt it and I have used the primer bulb to try to compensate for a potentially
bad pump but this has no effect. The other day I ran it up to a point
just before it bogged and put three fingers in front of the inlet of the right
carb and got it to bog. I put three fingers in front of the inlet on the left
carb and got a 1000 RPM rise. The carb on the left is an older type so I bought
a brand new carb. Would you believe it? Same exact reaction. I went through
the timing but I will probably go through it again to double check. Any body
got any idea's? I have done so much that I can't even remember it all.

If choking off one carb causes an rpm increase it may be that you have an
air leak somewhere... crankshaft seals perhaps, or a case seal? Have you
done a pressure test on the engine?
The previous owner of my plane (Cuyuna, not Rotax, but they're similar)
went crazy trying to get the engine to run right until he discovered the
center crankshaft seal was bad (or more accurately, a good seal installed
incorrectly).

Society is like a stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you get a lot of

Points or ducati ignition?
Check that there are no restrictions in your muffler. Had something similar
happen to me once & it was a big mud dobber nest in the muffler.
