| Subject: | Re: New from Utah |
Back when I had a 532 on my MKIII, I found it worked really well with a two blade
66" Ivo. Initially I had a three blade 64" Ivo and that was just too much prop
for the somewhat pipey 532. Took away one of the blades and it ran really
happy, enough so that I could go to the next longer size Ivo, and that worked
good too.
Then I replaced the points ignition with one of Airscrew Performance's CDI ignition
systems and was pleased with it.

Matt,
My kolb-list digest stopped coming as of as of 5/24/17. They do not show
up on my gmail search, they are not under any other tab, or in spam or
trash. No filters with kolb exist. My gmail is functioning normally, just
not receiving the kolb-list. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

This is thanks to you Kolbers who contributed to my request for information o
n the Facet fuel pump. I had to add an electrical system to my 1986 Firestar
as I'd never really needed one before. I used pretty much all of your input
. Here's what I came up with and it seems to work quite well.
I fabricated a mount plate that mounts to the aft cage section directly unde
r the engine mounts. It's mounted using 4 ea. Steel with rubber insulated ha
rness clamps. The mounting plate includes the rectifier/voltage regulator, Fa
cet 40104 fuel pump, 25v22000uf capiciter and sealed lead acid Duracell 12 v
olt battery. I think the total cost was around $130.00 including wiring and a
master power switch. Total weight came out to 3.8 pounds. Here's a couple o
f pictures. Before and after installation. Thank you all your help.

PLEASE be careful with having fuel lines and seals and connections just a few inches
from a battery and electrical connections !
