...overflow relief tube...
Larry,
I believe the HKS have a dry sump tank like the Rotax 912 series. If so, are you
speaking of the oil tank vent tube? I believe that functions similarly for
a dry sump engine as the crankcase vent does for wet sump engines, which could
definitely be the cause of low oil pressure if clogged.
We don't have any scorpions in this part of the country.... I'm not complaining
:-).

Hats off to Larry for sharing both the problem and the fix.I learn as much from
other people as they work through an issue as I do if it is my own.
We don't have many scorpions here in north ARK but we do have a plenty of
dirt daubers & they will stop up anything that has a small hole.

I've reduced the asking price for my plane to $13,500. This is a really nice plane
and well worth the price.

Yes the oil tank has a vent on top of the tank. I really believe that it
was the sender itself. We really don't have many of the "Mud Dauber" types
that you have back East.
I flew for an hour and a half this morning and pressures were right where
they should have been. I had discussed the problem with John H, and he said
that if my pressures were as low as the sender was telling me, the engine
would have been trashed. I have to agree. I had 160 hours on the original
sender.
Its nice to be back in the air. As you guy's may remeber I had bought a
Drift HD camera, and one of the features of it is the ability to turn the
lens so that the horizon is level. Well I put it on my hat just to practice
with a new video program that I am trying. If anyone is interested I have
some dramatic scenery shots of the Owyhee Canyon and the fire that ravaged
so much of the area. You will need to be laying down however to see them.
They seem to be 90 degrees off. Sigh! Pobody is Nerfect, I guess.
Less than,
Larry
