In fact, I see such maybe 98 times out of a hundred. Absolutely normal. Sometimes I see quite a bit of oil; sometimes hardly any. Yes, you can get hydolock from over priming. I have a manifold drain that I installed off of #4, #5 and #6. So, in cold weather in particular, I prime the heck out of it, sometimes seeing fuel dripping out of my manifold drain--in which case I know it is fully primed. As long as you carefully pull the blades through after priming to check for restriction you're Ok.

Iversen Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 12:45 AM Subject: M14PEngines-List: M14-p Me and my friend have been opertaing our Yak during wintertime now, operating the engine below 5 degrees Celsius, even down to -5. STarting the engine really hasn=B4t ben difficult, but have learned that you should not without pre-heating. We have drained for oil every 3 days without a flight, turning 20 blades before priming and another 10. After the last flight at Saturday, we notice some oil dripping out of the exhaust imediatly after shut down.(maybe a teaspoon full) That we didn=B4t like much! How common is this? May this be a sign of a minor hydraulic lock, with bent engine parts? Since the cold weather, we also needed to prime some nicks while starting, to get it to fire properly and run. Is there a chance of overpriming causing damage? Please advise, and from only those serius guys! Thanx! H=E5vard N.
