The supercharger tension needs to be loosen.

I tried adjusting the supercharger tension when the starter didn't seem to  
stay engaged.  I have the 30mm starter solenoid.  Apparently I need  the 34mm 
starter solenoid.  I have a 12 volt system.

Regards,
Jim Ayers

My supercharger is staying "ON" when control  is turned "OFF"... tensioner 
belt 
needs adjusting - should I turn it left  to loosen the belt or right to 
tighten the belt to allow MP to be 29.9  inches when "OFF"? Four or five  
turns?

I did loosen it - and it strted fine - two props! now, I need to adjust it  
because the supercharge stays "ON" delivering 37 inches MP even when the 
supercharger control is put in the "OFF" position. I know I can just leave 
the SC ON and drop the MP back with the throttle, but I want to be able to 
turn it off properly. The glastar cowling is not too bad to take off, but it 
is requiring some on and offs -- cause to check the full throttle manifold 
pressure, I cannot hold the plane still - it skids on the brakes! The only 
way is to taxi out and do a takeoff with full throttle....

I'll let you know when I get it figured out. I am also tying to get hold of 
Joe Krybus at Santa Paula Airport - he apparently is a LOM expert and see if 
he has any hints.

thanks!
