FireFlyer's,
Put up a couple of pages that might be of interest. The first shows a
method of how to safety a fuel squeeze bulb while saving some weight and at
the same time simplifying the fuel system.
It can be seen at:
http://jackbhart.com/firefly/firefly157.html
The second shows a method for getting rid of the squeeze bulb all together
providing additional weight savings and system simplification. Herb gave me
the idea.
It can be seen at:
http://jackbhart.com/firefly/firefly157a.html
These methods were investigated while trying to figure out how to get fuel
to the Tillotson carburetor on the MZ 34. Turns out that neither of them
will work, but they will with the Bing. And each will save a little
weight.
Clouds and rain have moved in. Snow is gone. Wings are back on the FireFly.

Very interesting Jack, However I have a much more effective way to
reduce the weight of my airplane, so far I have cut 20 pounds off my
Firestar's flying weight, and if my resolve holds out I may loose
another 10 pounds off it. Saves on food money too.

Mama Beauford warned me about that mouth-to-mouth
reconstitution...ain't goin' there. And I already had my daily cup
of Seafoam early this morning.... but I just got through looking at
Brother Hart's elegant tire valve solution for fuel system
pressurization which saved two ounces off a Firefly... and thought of
the irony of my having just added about 8 lbs. to mine day before
yestiddy by putting 600x6 tires and aluminum Azuzas on it.... Mebbe
I'll do Brother Hart's tire valve thingy this weekend to start on the
road to recovery...
Lessee.... with the valve, only 126 ounces to the break even point...
is that right...? ...naw... can't be...

Problem is, it doesn't prevent a leaky bulb or stuck check valve... the
latter nearly cost me my plane on my first flight in it.
In the end I ditched the bulb and installed a plunger primer.

Got a question for you metallurgically-knowledgeable types out there: on the donor
aileron I am using to rebuild the FSII wing, did not like the looks of the
metal fittings at either end, so pulled them off, and sure enough they were rusty
inside the aluminum aileron tube. Cleaned them off, and they are currently
drying under a coat of rustkiller/sealer, but here's the question: as far down
as I can see with the flashlight the inside of the aileron tube has a lot of
"rust dust" in it, left over from what came out of the inside of the aileron
bellcrank at one end, and the counter balance at the other end. I am inclined
to just take a hose, swab it out it out good, rinse it, let it dry and forget
it.
But since I have never encountered this before, haven't read of anybody else dealing
with it either, (and at my age, any learning opportunity is something good)
- so any opinions (good, bad or otherwise) out there of what might be a better
idea?

Wow that is good news. Kind of hard to ignore a $10,000+ cost reduction.
I will be at Sun-N-Fun with my VW powered MKIIIC. I assume you will not have
the factory VW powered Xtra ready by then?
I haven't heard from the two other VW powered Kolb lately. They must be
getting close
