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....

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 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.
