John Hauck:
Are your seats the type sold with the Mark III kit? or have you done something
different. I firgure you have spent more time in them than others. Comfort
is definently a consideration.
Does any one on the list have any type of "blower" installed on their aircraft?
I refer to a blower that might be used to direct additional air over the cylinders
during extended ground operations.
Does anyone have a preference on what brand of manifold pressure gauge to use?

I never was a fan of fabric sling seats, although I flew with them a lot in
factory aircraft. They are comfortable and simplify construction.
I knew I wanted something a little more substantial if I crashed. While
building my mkIII in 1991 at the factory, I found two Ultrastar seats in the
attic of Homer's barn. Brother Jim welded up the seat frames and I
reinforced the plastic US seat backs with sheet metal. I also took some
advice from the JAARS pilots and riveted a sheet metal pan under my plastic
seat to prevent me being rammed through the 4130 seat frames should I have a
really hard landing.
I also use a piece of firm (green) Thermofoam in the seat to extend flight
legs from 30 minutes to several hours without getting butt cramps.

Subject: | 912 Ignition Question |
I have question for all you 912 Guys and Gals, regarding a problem I had
this past weekend.
After a seemingly normal flight, I was on the ground and stopped, and
went to shut down my engine.
I flipped both ignition switches to "off," but nothing happened - the
engine continued to idle.
Had to close off the fuel valve to stop the engine.
I checked the wire connections on each of the kill switches (2) and on
each of the ignition modules (2), and they all are secure.
Any suggestions on what else to look at or troubleshoot?
Many thanks -

Either your "ground" is missing to the key switch or the switch itself is
bad.

Dennis, I had the same problem on the Kolbra only with one mag staying hot. It
continued to run after I switched it off. I have a rotary ignition switch instead
of toggles. I found one of the switch wipers wasn't making good enough contact
inside, so I took the switch apart and extended the springs. It solved the
problem for a year.
The last few weeks, I noticed the problem returned. I took my trusty ohmmeter and
saw that both mags were being grounded like they are supposed to on the airframe
side of the engine connector. I reseated the connector several times, and
that did the trick. It may have been the original problem in the first place.
When the connector was jostled around, it made contact making me think it was
the ignition switch problem. So, the bottom line is to check the connector between
the engine and airframe to make sure it isn't corroded and all connections
are good. I hope this solves your problem.

I should have read your post better, but still- the ground to the
switches is missing. It is possible that one of the switches is "open",
but if
that were the case you should notice a slight decrease in your idle speed
.

Probably bad ground to your switches.

Please don't respond to Mike. Hopefully Matt will do something soon. In the
mean time just ignore him. These people get their jollies when someone else
stoops to his level. I had hoped he had gone for good when he tried to start
up his own list a while back.
I sure wish he would stay on his medication but.......

Kolbers,
There is nothing wrong with getting a little off subject, but what has been
going on lately is bordering on the ridiculous. In the future, when
someone reviews the archives on "Forest Lake fly-in last Saturday" they are
going to be disappointed, because they will find little on the subject.
Instead they are going to find a lot of spleen letting, and some friendly
and vicious jabbing and biting.
If you have to get off subject and still want the whole list see how you
feel about non Kolb material, please use "do not archive". And you may
want to review the guidelines you agreed to when you joined the Kolb List.
For what it is/was worth!
